For You


For You

I read and write about the war
every day

I know you tire of hearing about it
only because you don’t know anyone
there

at least one of ours dies
daily

they are all ours

when your foot touches the earth
a broken skull falls
there

some who are your age die
screaming

some younger die
disbelieving

I will continue to write and read
until it ends

or you
open your eyes
