WAR
WAR
I am trying to talk about it.
I am trying not to talk about it,
but then it comes out in children's play
or in dreams
like dreaming of a bird who doesn't have a beak
just a big hole.
It is black and white
lying on its back
wearing human clothes.
Dreaming of war is horrible.
Being in a war is much worse.
Maggots are presidents.
Skulls and works of art
are flying.
