Now Pinned to the Sky
Pinned to the sky
like some
kids cartoon moon
beneath
an arc light bulb
burning
both the moth and
the fool ..
So why choose to
leave us
and where did they
then go ..
It must have been
special
to depart without
warning
and then to desert
us cold,
scared and hungry
boy soldiers
unready for war ..
Yet all
stood to attention
in row upon row … x
