Amariya shrine Baghdad
A burnt-out bunker
covered with faces;
photos of the four
hundred civilians
annihilated here
in milliseconds
decades ago.
Shredded flesh
adhered for years
from human bodies
flash-fused into walls
as the missile, controlled
from an office somewhere
else in the world, exploded.
