Prague 1939

 

She came to in a crowd

of faces that stared

into her.

 

Shouting

hysterical

failed to disperse them

as she sat  

on the sidewalk

sobbing

defeated

clutching her clothes

bloodied

smeared with mud and horse manure.

 

The soldier looked back

laughing

firing his machine gun in the air.
