children died and you smiled

Your heated moments tore ties which won't mend

we tell our kids this story all day long
but Jill was bitter and she was savvy
and she went to her lawyer with a sad song.

The dry herd steps forward to give 
Filed sighs, an enormity
Of purpose, peppered like a sieve
With empty space, paraded fast
Through love and loss, to lie and live,
Splaying bones to yawn death at last,
Our time to pass, we won’t forgive....

The power of the written word
  the spoken word supreme

Ink to then commission
  what only breath can glean

Soldiers line up back to back
  letters ranked and filed
