"Johnny": [link]

Johnny was going to
die.

Shot three times
in the chest.
He would die before the medics
finally reached us.

So
I stayed with him--
he wanted someone to talk to.

I knew Johnny was going to miss
his hometown,
the way he talked about it.

"The weather in Washington,"
he told me,
grimacing past another wave of agony,
"is something I'll never forget."

"It's always beautiful..."
he sighed,
wiping his dirty hand
limply across his sweaty forehead.

I looked up.
Washington sounded
really nice right now.
For the past 4 months,
all we'd seen was sand.
And the only thing
even close to a gentle breeze,
was the wind whipping dust
into our faces, blinding us, choking us.

I wished he could see Washington
one last time.

"Do you think
Heaven
will be just as
pretty as Washington?"
Johnny asked.

His voice now quivered a little,
telling me that
he was coming close.

I gave him a small shrug
that I wasn't even sure
he could see.

"It's Heaven,"
I mused,
"It's gotta be
pretty."

He was silent for a moment,
and I could now hear his breathe coming in
short, ragged gasps.

"Does it have snow?"
he blurted out,
desperately.

Now it was my turn
to be silent.

"If you want it to."
I responded finally,
in a quiet reverent voice.

Johnny didn't ask me
anymore questions about Heaven.
But by the content look
on his now peaceful face,
I could tell it was
pretty nice.
