DAVID COPE
Dawn
rush hour wreckage smoke & fumes below:
flashing ambulance screams away. beyond,
concrete angels blow trumpets in all directions—
pale moon on eastern horizon. here, orchids cascade
above crown of thorns’ red lips. paper on the desk:
25 Afghan women & children incinerated—
“a mistake.”
