Now Pinned to the Sky

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
