further down

 


not a poem because

poems are lies

but a film instead

 

a shaky image of a woman

none of us knows

screaming without sound

 

protesting

fist in the air and then

an anonymous soldier knocking her

to the ground

 

kicking her in the face until

her blood stains the pavement

 

raises his rifle butt to drive it

into what remains of her mouth

and then the screen goes white

 

the ending can

only be assumed

 

the assumption can only

become your future
