Crucifix
It hangs on the wall, gingerly placed there.
A showcase not of religion, of war.
It's not haunting, it's reminding. It was salt on old wounds - fresh wounds.
War is the crucifix. The mind is nailed to one side, the heart on the other and the body lies nailed to the bottom. Blood seeps from crusted holes, memories mixing with the red making a dizzy smell of horrifying reminder.
It hangs on the wall, gingerly placed there.
My crucifix.
