war of attrition

a poem

one of those strangest days

when all aeroplanes

they scour the sky

shrilly

the birds giving up on that

view

the sun hid its rays

in the deepest dungeons of doom

students only occasionally

hover around

smacking of popular party music

leaving more room for me

to reflect

about those wars when the dust settled on

all the commodities of my living

furniture, pots and pans, lamps

viewfinder with worms

glued to the glass

zoomed in, it looks horrifying

when there’s nothing to light my way

Miss Holme went to sleep

exhausted by it all

international injustice in the name of ilk
