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.”
