The bombs are falling
Dark, hot, echoing
Enveloping me
Abba screaming
His flesh burning
Mine drowning
He disappears
I cannot hear him
Frozen.
Waiting
White light
another wave of hell explodes
I cannot hear him
Frozen.
Waiting
White light
another wave of hell explodes
And arms pull me away
My feet crunch into the crumbling earth
toes scraped and bruised
legs pulling themselves away
before they melt
before they melt
We take shelter
Amma and I
Watching
Aasman jalta hai
We call out to God
Praying for the sky to stop
crumbling
We call out to you
to end the fire
I bury my face in Amma's warmth
a ticking warmth
Dust rains down
I am screaming
But
it bounces off the walls
coming back to haunt me
No one listens
I am alone
