(contest entered “Make their jaws drop”)

Singing and her little jaw dropping and closing for tune and 
amazing melodies enchanting the maize to mature 
Fatima was herding the sheep after school
beautiful a child of nature innocent humming

Just one animal at a time nurtured wandering
wondering slaughtered sacrificed in time for food
when water would come for the garden and soul 
the thunder approaching bringing gifts droplets of growth

Heaven ignited a lullaby combusting when explosive torrents descended 
liquefied imprinted her little mind again and once more

The bombs brought tears and fears desolation
fire shrapnel on impact from Gods of greed and exploitation
Fatima’s tune and prayers stopped in time for sheepish
scattering shattering bleeding disembowelment 

Her jaw dropped one final time when the bones crushed
and she and her dismembered jaw fell to the ground
