Naked

by Thushara kulatunga

The naked felt warmth for the first time
As she wrapped the flag around her body
The faceless looking for a smile
Tear out heart by heart
Hoping
Waiting
For the moment
To see
Into their own faces
The war drums beat a formless song
A fat executive puts a coat on
A soldier engages in a dialogue with the universe
Taking a hit from a bong
The admiral looked in terror
The naked danced in ecstasy
Around the empty flagpole
