And She will cry of lost children 
morbid oblivion, 
damnation and...

What makes it okay to bomb a nation?
Kill so many who don’t have a station?
Destroy a country, cities and families?
Women, babies, children and men—all tragedies—
Who never chose this war… suffer again and again.

I was encompassed within the sullen lust
Of gentrified prepositions

Incomplete adjectives layer the magnitude of
My emptied valor

17th street playground. 
watching
and waiting.

I wait for her
as she waits for

Peaks do erupt

And even myself 
Who we are... 

Mountains are us.
