Smouldering timber,
Smothered in rain, singed teddy,
After the sirens.

After the Sirens
I turn on the news—
Mass shootings—again.
After the sirens
fade away, I scream aloud—
Will this madness never end?

#AfterTheSirens
Although I had commanded
that only I should hear them
I wish now that all my comrades had fallen to their music
As now I hear no birdsong, no waves crashing to the shoreline
Now lost forever craving
the sweet siren voice of
Peace
