barely a woman

loose t-shirts, no bra

she walks around with her arms folded over her chest

as if no one can see her breasts

peaking from beneath dark linen.

I walked past a soldier's memorial ceremony this afternoon outside of the Ohio Union. I stopped briefly, to pray for them. The only other time I saw anything like it was on youtube-Luke's memorial in Afghanistan. The boots. The rifle. The helmet. The flag. I'm surprised I'm still emotional about it. Can you miss some one you barely knew? I wish I could give him a hug and let him know how great of a person he was. He was one of the only few genuine people I've ever met.
