Creatures of Relief

head high in bloody water
speak to the ghosts of war
pale, gray children talking in broken tongue seek the weak

My eyes are weary of the everything

I do speak to them 
They do kill me
I do lie there,die there,

My eyes are weary of nothing

Very compelling, Kalonji! The "ghosts of war" speak to me as well and remind me how pointless acts of violence are. Happy Friendship Week! Love, Carolyn
