I think about this woman from Iraq
My mind boggles at her grace and strength
Death her constant companion in her homeland
She speaks of normal nevermore, only loss and war
I can't fathom what her normal must have been
She keeps a smile on her lips
Her eyes reach into and beyond your soul
She's strong and calm, a stranger but not really
In her case beauty is clear to the bone.
