ones with no name

trapped
on a battle field
bullets
cutting the air buzzing by the head
causing a ringing in his ears
pushing
him home

back

to his child hood
playing tag was never so serious
dodging behind bushes so not to be found
training the young to hold guns
squirting their way through adolescence
so to lose his name
among shadows
forgotten to his existence
making his life a blank track
repl-re-replaying
and sk-ski-sk-ping
stones over bones
snapping under the feet of soldiers
making their way to their graves
taking with them their names
never to be told
...or..
known
M I A
blank graves
souls wandering
trying to tells those who still wonder if their ok
