One Stop Poetry – a triolet


When another soldier dies

I always think about their kids,

their mothers, fathers, husbands, wives .

When another soldier dies

what arc of pain from that demise –

so many lives that hit the skids

when another soldier dies.

I always think about their kids.

  1. Stunning. Oh, wow. Beautiful in its brevity. Like a whispered exclamation point.
