In Kabul

Tonight in Kabul
there will be terror or death.
All other choices
flew away yesterday
on a plane crowded
with last hopes.

Such a compelling observation, Eric! I'm thinking, too, the last hope was getting out of Kabul, an opportunity denied to so many simply because of logistics.

Yes, logistics and the muddled planning of weak generals and slick politicians. Glad it found a home in you.
