Dust Devils Poem by Ben Bump

Dust Devils



Death walks these streets...
The corner market bustles while still and silent.
A stray dog follows an unseen keeper.

A man opens fire from a rooftop,
Ghost tracers pass through me.
The wind blows his shadow away.

A child's laughter echoes from an alley...
She never returned from the market...
A single flower blooms in the bomb crater.
