When we return,
those bodies in bags
should be wrapped in our flag.
Our Eagle should remind
US to be Brave.
Our leaders should be
crying and scratching the earth.

And when we return to what
is normal-give thanks to
those who washed your underwear
and to the God who gave you mercy,
and to those whom you will never see.
Wrap them in linens and bury
them in your prayers.
