Let's Transit Cross

Atomic Hell

My Love

Is Hot

As Mercury's Shell

And If You Dare

Come With Me Cher

I'll Leave Your

Ash

In Puddles...

Forgotten ones

The "Left behinds"

Their arc of life

Is one unkind

Soldiers

From the World's

Hot zones

Return Stateside

And have no home

Averted eyes

A ragged quilt

We drop stray coin

To ease our guilt

Of honor shown

There is a dearth

We fail to own

Our warriors' worth

Huddling round

A flaming bin

They wear their hope

Like tattered coats

And burn

Their brittle dreams

For meager proof

Against

The cold

Their

Quiet

Stories

Die

Untold...
