The name comes first<\/p>\n
First name: angel, last name: prophet<\/p>\n
With such a name is it any wonder you came to me?<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
At 6:40 he was called to a distant position but<\/p>\n
He runs to the closer one,<\/p>\n
toward the end, crosses to<\/p>\n
The knowing, sky, whirlwind<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The numbers help me.<\/p>\n
19 years old. an ATGM.<\/p>\n
Company 77. Platoon 7. Firstborn of 7.<\/p>\n
Your gaze deprives my words,<\/p>\n
but the numbers still mean something<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Last seen: 10\/7\/23<\/p>\n
Plowing through towards the end, to save<\/p>\n
Last seen: Going up to heaven in a whirlwind<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
I am trying to retrieve you for this poem:<\/p>\n
Dimples that grew a beard,<\/p>\n
the innocence of a child's smile,<\/p>\n
Your eyes that stream peace<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
"How much I love the prophecies of hope and salvation," you say,<\/p>\n
The 13-year-old climbs to the land<\/p>\n
from the great continent<\/p>\n
A moment on earth for eternity inside<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
"My cake is tastier when my friend<\/p>\n
eats it," you say. From the center of Jerusalem,<\/p>\n
with a laches of a quarter, I answer you<\/p>\n
When oxygen are in my lungs and a swallow outside the window:<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
He eats, he eats<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
