held by the barbs, the nails – v2


Still not free to move
held prisoner, captive;
held by the barbs
the nails, the forces,
bars that constrains them.

A furtive reminder
of those we remember,
those held in foreign lands,
those missing in action
some never to return.

held by the barbs, the nails
the POW/MIA flag
in front of Ellis Family Market
part of the Main Street Flags
