The Bombing.... Poem by RIC BASTASA

The Bombing....



to write what is evident
is a superfluity

but sometimes it has to be
done

what is evident
what is too evident sometimes
had become invisible

too much familiarity removes
that thing
from our common view

something trivial is missed
which creates the chaos

what is here is written
what is touched is exposed as it is

the curtains have been removed
the doors and windows are opened

the stairs are repaired and even
a toddler can crawl up here

the lights are not turned off
even in the morning

it shall be seen and it shall
always be remembered

on record 20 are dead
60 are wounded....
