Everywhere I look, poppies.
Ssshh, here the children are quiet.
Fields of them fade into mountains,
their hushed graves. A bloom of bombs
and you wear one over your heart.
Two months on, with each one marked,
God in the burst, red over the hills
and up through Europe, sleep
where you slept for a century:
today you buy dreams on the street.
