it's still the same flag
i'm not sure what it's supposed
to mean anymore.
Letter to the General
There was a murder-
a great big bloody one
down in the Capitol.
and you were
"complicit"
to put it in legalese.
But you weren't just
"at the scene" -
you helped bury the bodies
you helped store the shovels
in closets too filled
with skeletons.
The dirt's under your nails-
the blood's still stuck
to your palms.
It's getting harder
with each passing day
to face the coming juries
to stare into the cameras
and state an innocence
that never existed
except in the souls
you stuffed underground.
