Oh, so powerful. Disturbing but eloquent. Wow!

…butcher’s market
on dirt road open faced 
one could cook these organs
under the sandy scorching sun
but these have names
of soldiers and civilians 
too slow to run
too wounded to crawl
too young to know
too strong to hide
they fed on petals
bulbs leaves vines roots
No Country for Morning Glory
