searching for beauty through a lens

Broken winged bird
Angry child
Layers of dirt
upon sweaty skin
Mountains that birth
from the sky
She remembers running
baby in arms
bullet through the shirt
Life’s routine and changes continue
but that day remains
as if it were yesterday
Land exposed to the drying sun
dirt crumples away under step
History that leaves its children parent-less
The closeness of life and death
awakens feelings of fear and intimacy
