Five hundred thousand lost
Amazing grace the trumpets sound
The candles flicker
The Marines salute
How can we keep from weeping

Kristin, Thank you for portraying our grief and the scope of our loss so resoundingly. The 21 words in your poem Journal of the Plague Years allow us to experience our loss, not hide it in a world that swims in verbiage; thank you indeed. Joanne
Thank you, Joanne.
