Poem, Death, Centurion Children


Short Sort
December 29, 2024

kid’s dying
and though I love ‘em dear
I signed on for this
full expectation

hoping this time
maybe lucky
they’ll do a century
a day
and a day more

but the damn shells just stop
saying don’t be angry
don’t grieve
just as I was starting to get to know ‘em
