The free form kind of frazzled form of this poem worked so well with the content/topic, and hooked me from the beginning. I think the matter-of-fact tone here is the only way we can talk about things as hellish as warm because otherwise words fail. Battle fields are robbed of sense, and words we use to make sense of the senseless. It hurt to read this poem, but I think it's supposed to. Like, I want to fix it, I want this not to be real, but I can't and I know that is not how life works. All I can do is honor this pain and wittiness it's reality, doing my best to help heal it wherever I find it. I don't know if this is your story, or another's. In some respects it doesn't matter, because these are your words for it, and that is the mattering part just now. |
