overtake stars

moon runs

behind darkness...

a race til morning

woken by the clinks

underneath the blackthorn boughs—

swearing

right hands raised ...

lone veteran salutes

packing bags

   called again

      peace and war

silently walking

adds to the melody

in a pile

of leaves

sounds of a child's

scattered laughter...

i remember hope
