Daffodils erupt out of cracked
stone. Shattered window
glass reflect their downward
praying heads.

Rusty nails poke
abandoned
beams. Slices of mortar
lay

like abandoned sandwiches.

When the bomb came
it missed her by a
minute.

She sings to drown out the sound

that
reverberates
on

but salutes the pristine sky.
