Is 50 years too late?
He already threw the pictures away
more than once.
He's already sworn never to shake
hands with the enemy again
-
They all remember the golden age
before the second war.
The world was as romantic as the music played.
-
The golden age when boys
weren't boys and girls weren't girls
but we were all people.
Bodies and souls
-
They let the dogs eat him.
My botched rescue attempt.
My broken heart is the heart of the world.
-
In sept. I'll be 93.
