Counteract
          For all casualties of conflict
 
Who counts 
     the bodies? 
 
How many missing limbs 
     equal one? 
Which body bags, 
     lost tags
     add to the tally?
Bodies that fall 
     seconds before the declaration? 
or minutes 
     after the truce? 
 
Who counts the body 
     of knowledge lost 
     in clouded memories?
Who counts 
     the piece in the parent 
     that dies when the epilates show
     through the peephole?
     or the low voice on the phone
     asks for his parents?
Who counts the child’s body 
     if it’s the enemy’s? 
 
How many are missing in action? 
     Covered under smoldering ash? 
     
Who counts the spirits lost 
     when bodies become armor?
     when eyes become empty bowls?  
     when people become photos?
 
 Who counts?
