Anti-War Haiku Wall

Kylan

I stopped the war
or at least one bullet
captured forever in my mind
's eye, I see
forever.

THE END OF THE POEM

to Kylan Jones-Huffman
and to all the boys in Iraq

Tank tracks.
The squirrel drinking from the puddle
takes flight.
Somebody,s shooting.
The woman
makeing up her face
is dropping the lipstick.
Somebody,s shooting.
The poem
of a soldier
remains unfinished.
Somebody,s shooting through.

Am I the woman
from the Balkans
who has to continue it?
