“Go! I’ll cover you.”
The deadly last words one hears
Under friendly fire.
Details were covered
Every moment rehearsed
Except for the rain.
They played for hours
Covered by a makeshift fort
Under the table.
The star-studded dome
Covers the neon city
Competing light shows.
Dust covers each inch
Of the long forgotten home
No one lives to tell.

Duck and Cover they were taught
Blinding light and wind
All dead wiped out without thought. 😦
