"This is not poetry. Poetry cannot exist here in the field where they killed her.
There are no flowers though there appear to be
flowers.
They left the bodies in that field
to the flying, stinging creatures, to damp butterflies of
sadness
and pain, to the eyes of the everlasting who catalogues the cruelties of humans from one nation to another from one ragged scar to another." — Apr 21, 2026 05:23AM
