France
"There wil be days and days and days like this."
She stands up on the hill and smiles looking
To a rising sun over lush green
Later is only memory
Returned to metropolitan
Exchanges and the
Sundry hides made
Of men
Or at least their sweat
The dreams once rampant
The night sweats
The exhanges
Ghosts of hope
For
Ghosts of special paper
Significant
"I think about France more than I can say
I often think of it"
Her husband knows what follows is deception
Recollection unhinged by a clash
Of green on green
Shall we eat again
There is plenty
