My wrists click,
as if i were re-loading a gun,
attempt to regrasp a memory.
Tears sting as if i were hit by gas, losing my sight,
i falter deeper.
A Poppy is laid down,
the marching of my heart, skips a beat.
The shadowy silouttes of my former allies arise,
to haunt me.
My roadmap scars,
serve as a reminder of ny luck,
as my hands tie the last name on a wreath,
looses a petal, stained red and smeared underfoot.

gosh you are a bunch of talented sisters, love all the images in this, especially the sound of wrists clicking. There's a small typo in the last stanza "ny luck".

Hi there, awsamy. Wonderful imagery, as maggy says. A couple of small typos. Stanza four, should be 'silhouettes' and in the last line, 'loosens'.
Much enjoyed.
Tina;-)
