The Jokers    by  Jean Frances

Sworn to ethnic cleansing
in the Bosnian campaign
they called themselves The Jokers
Commander Anto in charge

Was she smiling
as the fist smashed her mouth?
Was she laughing
when her legs were spread?
Were you aroused Anto
as the blood trickled
down her chin?
Did your crotch bulge
when that soldier
forced himself inside?

And before you walked away
did you wash your hands?
