War.


from the ABC set Thoughts and Whispers.

Darkness
Light
Silence
Deafening Blasts
A tumult of sensations
Too much
Too fast
Life
Death

What am I doing?
Why am I here?

Dirt in my eyes
In my lungs
In my skin
Heat
Haze
Running
Shouting

Gunfire

Everyone down
Dust
Fear

Listen

Wait

Pounding heart
Heavy breath

Reload

Wait

Think

Survive.

Short, sharp and to the point. Such is this poem. Very effective.
