for all children who live daily with violence <br /> <br /> <br />I shall always remember <br />that bloody ship and shore... <br /> <br />bobbing in that tarnished pail <br /> <br />Forever edgy in my mind <br />restless, pacing always... <br /> <br />Nostrils flaring, <br />battling that putrid affront... <br />that bloody thieving affront, <br /> <br />A smell of death... <br />death of an intrinsic trust. <br /> <br />(May 3,2005 ~ Bell's Island, North Carolina)<br /><br />Debora Short<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/heart-haunted-a/
