[just mercedes]

JM, that's really well done. Flash-fused the walls is an intense image. And the best part for me was the "controlled from an office somewhere else in the world" touching on the antiseptic nature of war that allows us to have distance and a sense with office of it also being a 9-5 typical work day when for someone else everything is gone. Fantastic tight contrast.

Thanks Todd - the poem is one I started years ago, and couldn't quite get right. This prompt reminded me and I had another try.

I've actually done that with a few poems this NaPoMo - I hope that's OK.
