A POEM OF REMEMBRANCE

posted Thursday, 24 April 2008

LONDON

 

Emergency leave

never ends well

when a mother

is lost

to breast cancer

 

I, an Army Lieutenant

flying back to

the Sunni Triangle-

a face in the window at

thirty thousand feet-

for the final

six months

of the tour

 

A layover in London.

The moist weather,

and a soft couch 

in the dim hotel lobby

 

Queen's Gate Garden

Hyde Park

I, a lone American.

Emotions ornate

as the gates

I peer through

at Buckingham Palace

in the rain,

seeing nothing.
