Description

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 comes
