A bomb
gets dropped
off a plane
at nightfall
approaching
the ground
disturbingly
peacefully
-
underneath
in a tiny house
children are playing
in the living room
their
parents,
in the kitchen,
doing
the dishes
after dinner:
the mother
had made
her childern's
favourite,
Spaghetti
-
soon
they'll
all
be
burned
& buried
in
the rubble
of that
tiny house
they called
their home
-
God bless America
for bringing peace
to the middle east
& any place
that smells like oil
or other treasures
in their soil.
-
the parents
watch
their children
play,
look into
each others
eyes,
they
smile
a warmest,
heartfelt
smile
for
a while
& then
they kiss
& carry on
doing
the dishes
-
.
