dawn hauntings

  

I could hear the helicopters floating,

Skimming over my head with

Their legs just barely touching

The long stems of grass.

 

And I couldn’t sleep at night, for all the noise

Reminded me of us.

 

Reminded me of the sounds of gunfire, the rapid

Silence that follows as human bodies, now shells, are buried where

Cameras won’t ever see them or record their passing.

 

I used to sleep at night,

When it was quiet and now the helicopters remind me

That in the dark, I am never standing alone even if the room

Where I reside is empty.
