A TORN PORTRAIT image: Still Life

A thousand flags wavering

In the outcries of smoke

Lifting unwillingly

admist the forgotten dew.

Polluted minds dragging bodies across lands,

In marching steps and praying hands.

Contorted screams slit open bound faces and surrendered throats in the name of patriotism.

Images burying

in yesterday's bone,

Left in burial dust,

where stems of bouquet lay,

bearing the scent of the fallen.
