Great Wars Like Ours

Every now and then I read something I just can't forget. It percolates through my brain and I can't let it go.

My current obsession:

Ok, we didn't work, and all

memories to tell you the truth aren't good.

But sometimes there were good times.

Love was good. I loved your crooked sleep

beside me and never dreamed afraid.

There should be stars for great wars

like ours.
