I wore it around my neck for a while
this cold chain
of such a dark shade
perhaps to remind me of your existence
and what you went through
imaging you
taking a deep breath
in the middle of this field of death
five engraved lines
to sum up these red nights
Intense conflicts
endless battles
in two parts
to mean that you came out alive
soldier you are brave
but not unscathed
no longer sore
I don’t have to wear it anymore
you are engraved in me
