National Poetry Month Day 27: Andrea Abi-Karam

 

 

 

 

Plastick Cover Up 

gasp through
dust & plastick
smoke thick w/
silicon computer chip
kevlar dust
ready to blow
refracted aluminum
mirrored
vastness 
of the desert
horizon line
disappear around
subtle curve of the
edge disappeared 
run out
through
i’d never make it
on these lungs
riddled w/ plastick
if a military trash fire 
burns in the middle 
east
does Anyone see it’s glow
jet fuel & trash
if the US silences any wounded
who will blow the whistle on it
choking on plastick
does anyone hear
the high frequency
injury retrograde
