Night of Stone--Four Lines

For thirteen moons I holler in angst relentlessly
Under coal stars, these hands pray over August's ceasefire;

Till a young man's dull frame quakes on bloodied tracks...
O my son laying with ghosts of heroes, my night of stone.

This excellent poem tugs at our heartstrings, Nette! A son who died too young...a victim of war...a mother, inconsolable. Congratulations on yet again a merited win. Hugs // paul
