AN INCOMPLETE HISTORY OF WW2
the doodlebug cuts
its silence deadlier than its whine
a baby crying
where there was a house
there was a house no more
a rocking horse survives the blast
the neighbours
across the road
move to a place called Death
"The road had a ruddy big hole
with a bus sticking out of it!"
Death always only a heartbeat away
"1939 & I
were such good friends
only time Love walked in my door!"
"Such a card he was
but he turned out
to be a cad!"
"Oh he was cad but
he was my cad
but I loved the bounder!"
"Yes, dear...the War
the War got him...
...he never came back!"
on the middle of mantlepiece
a black & white slice
of 1939
Spring is late...again
"Where have you been!"
shyly it smiles at me in flowers
