Rumors of Wars by pseud

[cameron]

An almost comatose pale frowning girl
sold a drug they can’t identify, and a body
in iron river face down they can’t identify.

A boy technically not an orphan with
deep cuts caused by what he can’t identify.
Another lap around the graveyard

a tall sharp stone that can’t be identified.
Another report of atrocities in hometowns
with a victim they can’t identify.

Another editorial on how no one will
save Darfur, for new yet old traditions
no one is willing to identify. Another

game of fetch, like the flag-bearer game,
another stick with elaborate fabric
so it can be identified among the bodies.
