after Tennyson
posted Sunday, 2 December 2007
sit here at my side
put up your little feet
while I sing war songs
by firelight
betrothed by wine
we marry poems
in a musty book
hearts a handful of dust
might we be the happy dead
how thin and clear
the battle call across
the miles how our
women care
for their babies and
men and how the women
become the man
voices bringing back
sunny hair and flowers
over weeds and
a country’s smile
cold as a snare
put up your little feet
while I sing war songs
by firelight
betrothed by wine
we marry poems
in a musty book
hearts a handful of dust
might we be the happy dead
how thin and clear
the battle call across
the miles how our
women care
for their babies and
men and how the women
become the man
voices bringing back
sunny hair and flowers
over weeds and
a country’s smile
cold as a snare
