When the bombs fell
We were in the hospital
Receiving the good news
The test results burst into flames
In the doctor's hands
Glass perforated your healing skin
Overpressure broke our embrace
Shrapnel amputated your smile
And I learned what silence means
When the bombs fell
All the confusion fell away
And the earth was made simple again
When I awoke
I tasted blood and cinders
Like lubricants of change
A dying orderly told me
It was quick and painless for you
As his ribs broke through his skin
It was not quick or painless for him
Is it wrong to feel relieved?
Maybe this was for the best
Someone told me there was a plan
They're making this world a better place
One mess at a time+9
