-
He used to be nineteen
Now he is nothing
but a flag draped coffin
military honors and
the bray of taps wafting
over copper tasting air.
After weeks of careful grafting
not having to bother
about either leg or one arm
he still lacked half
his skin.
I can see him in the dirt
organs exposed
burned on nearly every square inch
Two days after winking at his nurses
he joined the friends
whose sould floated away
from the Bradley vehicle
where he met his first stretcher.
I’m sorry.
It was only a story on the radio
but now I’m pulled over
fist sore, steering wheel injured
crying and trying to write
him a poem.
I’m sorry, Soldier, I forgot your name. - Drinkin’ From a River That’ll Never go Dry by David Elam Blackwell
- Blinded to See by David Elam Blackwell
- House Without Doors By Destiny Kappa
