Celebrating
Independence Day, July 4, 2010
music on the square
meeting accompanied
by the choir’s singing
patriotic songs
amidst the celebration
a tear in my eye
an important
speaker
in front of crowded stadium
flags flutter on the breeze
country's
independence
moist with tears
an invalid's chair
by the stage
warrior's artificial limb
bows to the flag
black scarves
celebrating Independence Day
mothers in tears
