Who Goes There

Who Goes There?

Is he approaching
in his tin hat
and his trench coat

or is he walking away?

Maybe he's thinking
there's no one there.
No life needs saving.

But isn't that you
amidst the devastation
and the rubble?

Does he not hear you

crying.

Fast fairly instant response poem to the image. Last one I did this quick was on my birthday.
