Waiting at Longjumeau





Fields were soft as mist in England
and here glare green in the shaken air.
The bed jitters where roses shatter
their petals, spatter concrete red:
a train's brakes shriek.

I fold the morning's news to a scene
where soldiers stroll down a village street,
blood black on the page.
