today

bombs on balad

iraqi police say eleven,
women and children…what else?
u.s. military say ONLY four,
ONLY one child…ONLY two women.

numbers, only numbers, just numbers.

see they bombed a house.
this is worth repeating.
they BOMBED a HOUSE.
no wedding this time.

maybe next time.

did they know?
inside houses:
women live inside houses,
with their children.

today a few less… ALIVE.
