day ONE HUNDRED and THIRTY NINE

After the Ariana Grande Concert

after the suicide
bomb

the shrapnel
spread

the face of
terror

is a teenaged
girl

supported by two
unseen

first responders

her distressed
jeans

one pant leg
torn away

bleeding wounds
on the other

that young
beautiful face

so stunned
confused

in shock

we are
all terror
victims now
