Memorial Day 2011
Flags And Flowers A Cemetery Blooms
Gestures From Homes With Enshrined Rooms
Recalling Sons And Daughters Who Marched Precise
But Today We Remember Sacrifice
Once Brave Now Rest In Their Saluted Grave
On The Day A Cemetery Bloom
Joplin
We held our breath
Hiding from death
in basements under blankets
arms wrapped around
whatever is nailed down
and the wind blew
as the cyclone came through
then the calm
and first look at our town
blown away
