Along the quiet street
Within an evening calm with the  intimations of a natural love that is here
Or could be here
Or
Once was here
--
A surface--- beautiful
Calm and tranquil with intimations
--
Imitations of solace love and care
----
He
(Does he walk with a dog?)
,
Does he walk with a girl in a dream in his head?
Does he walk with a vision of war and its fear?
Of a nation at war with a world in a war
With each and every person?
--
His mind
Like a bull whip rips thru the scene
As he tries to see things thru to the core
To the most meaningful reality
--
he is a man
A human being
---
Gentle angelic
The wind

He
,
Soothes away the ragged edges of his feelings

Smiles at the dog and the girl
........
the 1000 movies dance in his head
..
All the same as the one he is in
-
With his knife in his pocket
And the armed drone airplane overhead

Wondering
"Am I alive or already dead?"

But of Final Victory fully assured
..
Fully at peace

He knows what shall endure
The love forever his and ours
The love forever his and ours
