Grief

Languages that were spoken

in war zones,

Words that they were to be

protected from, are now their own.

how can tender roots of kindness

make their way into the heart

when dreams are loaded

and floored with metal ?

Their minds are clouded

with the smoke and dust - that we raised.

Children - they no longer think of

wooden horses and paper boats...
