A bride in white
laced with love
and longing, her hair silk black
strewn with white jasmines
tender palms, hennaed feet
Incense fills the air
drums chant, hearts gallop
then, the roar of a B52
splits the night sky
rapes the white dress bloody
stains of lies
the young groom stabbed
that snake they call Freedom
this virgin wed to Death
one sad March 20th .
