Deployment

Hot tears come in an unwelcome cascade. He looks sad. Another last hug, kiss, and I love you before he walks out the door. I wave but he can’t see through the reflective glass.


I slump into the wall feeling betrayed by myself. Bronze busts and face shots of uniformed men smile from their trophy cases. We’re a proud unit.
