Peace In Retreat
callously the world had split
two hemispheres disconnected
scalps and war chests decorated
glamorous uniforms
heaving with medals
speechless arithmetic
spacious troops on the map
her mind severed in pain
corporeal numbness leaking
from a crashed skull bone
squirting brain matter
and lost hope
displaced she roamed the ruins
her only salvation that
shrapnel had formed
a lacuna of blood
where semblance of
left right and wrong
now withered in vain
