1: lesson
In our sweet corner of the world, war was
books and stacks of notes that piled up
in front of dates: exam dates, and tasks
which grant the keys to the passers
And a shadow on the TV screen, far away
but drawing ever closer: the horn
of blood and bone and ash that blew
on the eastern winds…
But then the sky and streets were set aflame
and we learned true war.
