#detah
the graveyards of Verdun
are full
with summer flowers
children are playing
hide and seek
among the crosses
their parents
coke in hand
keep looking for the names
of their grand fathers
on the wooden beams
verifying the family album
swallows dive steeply
under darkening clouds
slowly approaching from the west
you try your best
to give them shapes
and faces
them
who in grey noisy nights
fell out of life
bright red leaves
flushed prematurely
by sudden frost
