War Dreams


yes we hold these small things in place

like trinkets, these breaths continue their outwardly pour

contacting the santa anas through a spring window

ticking like crickets

and dying like bees

yes we are holding onto these things tightly

you.......you continue to evade my grasp

far too long

100 years and i'm still caught in this laborious solitude

the war has ended but she's still dreaming of mustard

and mortar

yes, i've been holding onto these for a little too long

scared of the slipping and

other uncomely things


it is time to put them down
