War child



Leaf

why can't I be you, 
fall and resurrect 
in the breeze?

The child wakes. 
Her doll is missing
from under her pillow. 

She would kill
to have it back.

She throws a stone 
in a rivulet of leaves, 
dies. 

Does heaven exist?

Gods line up 
behind the sun 
like toy soldiers 
on a shelf.
