The card said, Hope
youll return to your family soon. The Airman
dorm is quiet on Christmas day. Loneliness
is a empty hallway and echoed footsteps.
The day is eaten like a plate of cookies, but tonight
Im on the bridge; alone
without angels or bells. The Airman
dorm is quiet on Christmas day.
The card said hope, and hope
walks by one step at a time,
measured in hallway tiles and calendar x-marks.
The Airman dorm is quiet on Christmas day.
