For NowBe still.There are no sounds.Not anymore.Not after the grizzly stench of bombingsthat lay before the dinner table.The sounds of trumpeting voices stillecho inside the gates ofevery child's mind.Noises abruptly halt the laughterand smiles of the city.Yet they've stopped.For now.No more thundering explosionsabuse the hearts of the innocent.For now.The children come back out.In fear of the atomic packages thatfell from the stars.The gift of 'democracy' tightly lacedin ammunition.A mother’s worried cries dressthe streets in a somber outfit of tears.She searches for her lost young.Her mind racing, her stomachchurning, burning with theacids of dread and panic. Her milk is drying, dissipatingfrom the absence of a tender child.She breaks,like a China doll thatfell from the careless handsof a militant.Her demeanorrepresents the widespreadpoverned nationin which she lives.Breathing,InOutThe cluttered, stifled airof a chemical soup.She drops.Falling upwardTowards the onlyPeace she can find.Scrambling like a cockroachin the light.She searches for a morselof humanity to feedthe lost.The noises return,along with the familiar smellof burning metal.Another day in Iraq.
