images on my t.v.
war
a COPS scene
except
this is solders
kicking in a door
doing that guns at ready
run in
three four fast
ready for whatever
is
inside
can one be ready
and I see a flash
a stab of light
an explosion
reflected in the shadows
them us who
a
jumpy finger
a warning
did someone just die
the flash
a bullet
did it just ricochet around in there
did it pierce a heart
did it graze a leg
tear flesh
did someone just die
the flash in my mind
won’t go away
images of war
won’t go away

Great poem, like a flashing strobe light, images sporadically appear and disappear.
I like it!

The images remain throughout these troubled times...and we know we shall have more ahead to endure. I missed you, Josefina. Great work. Siempre con carino.

images that sear the eye and mind, often freeze the heart. Keep writing and expressing.

Josie, no they won't dear. They are fixed in our minds, mostly bad ones. Feeling like this shows you care, and that counts for a whole lote. Many don't even care a little. Hugs Bill

Too much of it on TV.
And the commentators sound as if they are viewing a football game.
Well done, Josie.

War is horrible. when I saw the photo of a 19 year old Virginian girl in our local paper and read she is missing in action, it tore my heart to pieces.
