Tired, dust covered waiting for convoy clearance.
Three week long convoy.

Lost dusk in western Iraq, IED on MSR Tampa
and a bird flying in and out amongst barbed wire.

Waiting, I watched that little bird fly in and out
as if the wall and barbed wire were not there.

This bird in such a foreign world without
walls, wires green zones, and red zones.

Innocence.
