held by the barbs, the nails


not free to move
held prisoner, captive
held by the barbs
the nails, the forces,
poles 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
