At eight years old I knew death was a journey
somewhere where angels await, my mother held me to
her chest as I sobbed for my grandfather's blue eyes
he is well in heaven she said
At twelve I knew death was a braid detached
and picked out of the rubble
I cannot forget my mother's
rush to close my eyes
Don't let the kids see
Don't let the kids see
she said
