”NON SO COME..SI PUÒ VIVERE IN QUESTO FUOCO?
”NON SO COME..SI PUÒ VIVERE IN QUESTO FUOCO?
After the war
we returned
ourselves
(but not)
our selves
to Our Country
right or wrong
that was like a life sized
replica of what
we had left
only alien
to us now.
We were guilty
(guilty as hell)
of surviving
this hell
that made ghosts
of so many
& we these
ghosts of flesh and blood
haunting the living
envious of them
and their ability to forget
by remembering.
We hoarded
our tears
we couldn't cry
went on living
because...because
we didn't know how
to die
each moment
a battle
we could never win.
"I do not know how it is possible. . .to live in such fire."
Dante
