War's Lullabye

by Clara Mae Gregory

The son sleeps

while the pain seeps

from a mother's

fractal heart.

Her anguish leaks

tenaciously

from the wounds

of the grim reaper.

Another war's

lullabye starts.

...great juxtapositions of a lullabye and a war-torn son...real but one is soft and pretty, the other hard and ugly.
