Nothing But Prayers

          dead children

Yes, these children are dead. Yes, Iraq. Yes, common scene.
Yes, Rumsfeld should be strung up by his ...

What else can one say. Words dissolve ... a swirl of leaves, caught by a gust, spirals up and over our heads, into a sky so bright it hurts. Hurts. Hurts.

And I am so sorry ...

annie, dear,

you're a braver soul than i. icertainly can't look at it every day, am kind of waiting for it to fall out of sight ... and feeling rather chickenshit ... and mostly just grappling with how to live with this ordinary iraqi truth. one must pick out one's own child at the makeshift morgue, obviously.

how they bear even the thought of us, i do not know.
