Poem:
"The photographs
I burn
a chest full of ribbons
your handsome face
the stars on your shoulders
I struggle to shred the evidence
of the accomplishments in life—
the day we got married
the moment you left home
to defend the country
the letters that protected me
from losing my mind
Your hand in mine
smolders out of reach
your proud smile curls up in smoke
your long lashes ascend
like the (rem)embered wings
of sleepless fire flies
A rise of ashes the words
that will again save us
from the bloodletting
when
the enemy
comesDimensions
