 Connect the Dots

 

Every picture

Outlines a story.

Reveals the glory.

 

No amount of flesh

Could have withstood

Such an explosive mess.

 

Outlines of ash

Handfuls of matter.

Twisted metal scattered.

 

Between the dots

A good luck charm

Is the extended arm.

 

Please, don’t stop

It means a lot.

Connect the dots.

I go through my parent's things- so many photos of Uncle Jack in his uniform. He died before I was born. Plane went down- telegram to his father- I have that. I have the flag from his coffin.
And I do...connect the dots.

John
