no sun no blossom
it was an untitled piece
the way they always begin
from root to blossom
some taking more years
than others
some never blossoming at all
struck down
by some unknown force
be it god or nature or god forbid man
shot down in broad daylight
in the middle of the street
no matter if in wartime
or in peace
a boy no less walking
hand in hand with his father
on a monday morning
the following sunday
wandering all alone
june two thousand twenty-four
