She bent over the bare page
and remembered the scenes
on the news and groaned
How to put into words
the horror and human degradation?
—————-
As someone thinks it’s a right
thing to snatch away lives,
break bodies like shells
and dreams and smash
and crush into fragmentation.
—————————-
She saw the bloodied floor
a cross high on a wall,
one bloodied corpse striving
to slip its nails and be
present in the vile confusion.
