More war

Shells plaster
the walls of ruins,
the stitched faces
of survivors,

amputees,
with layers
of flesh and blood.

Pink limbs
rotate in the air.
Metal and bone.
Fragments
of a neighbour.

Hospital beds contain
chunks of flesh,
beating hearts.

In a street a dog
is searching
for its owner

who seems

to be

everywhere.
