His mouth distorted in agony,
I close his eyes and say a prayer.
Someone’s shouting,
I run.
No time to think.
The ground suddenly alights with heat:
An explosion.
Here, I stop for breath.
The oxygen drowns my lungs as I gasp.
Fear, such fear.
I hear steps nearby, voices.
I stand still, my body aching to rest.
A whistle of noise, more light, heat, light,
I pray for deliverance, cry out,
My God, my God,
Why have you forsaken me?
