She lost her tan that night
those forest, green eyes
below the sight of her brown, thin hair

She was lost that night,
under the barrage of bullets
the thud, of those penny shattering sounds
of the bombs from the sky onto the homes
just a few blocks down from her

Mother never said there'd be times like these
those swollen winters seemed rather inviting
when those screams canvassed across the night
as they replaced the winds current
cry after cry, thud after thud

What began as a night to see the light
became one just to see the next

To see the ideas of life conceptualize into the sky
one after another
With green, blue, and black hues
As the moon reached its painting
of a woman's index finger curved inward

Just to see one more night
where the silence became so surreal
it made time lose the memories
and restore the village from the rubble

Just one more night.

Terrible memories of war.
I can only assume.

Interesting write, Tomer.
