BRAVO FOUR

Truth be told is that I hear you calling
truth that zips black
plastic at my feet.

A rapid fire gang of four brothers
gone, one...two...three
and I lay torn.

Oh, bring them back!
Stop your staring, put me down!
And they call to me still.

A bag zipping symphony
Neatly aligned, prepped for stone
Do not leave me here…alone!

My sleep whistles in
chaos shreds then strokes matted hair
hands carry to their row adding one bag more.

To Alpha One, Charlie Two
and Delta Three
Add me…Bravo Four.
