Butler Pennsylvania 47

      Normandy

She was standing
on the porch
that day in June
watching her youngest
come running up the steps
and across the lawn
when it happened
on the beach
at Omaha
where her oldest lay,
face down, no longer
clawing at wet sand.

She stood there, quiet,
holding him
close,
fingering his hair.


from: Small Town, U.S.A.

It's hard to know what to say to this emotive poem....it touched me, just doesn't seem enough.

Catching up on my reading...and arrived late but still in time to be stunned by the depth of this brief poem....
