overtake stars

moon runs

behind darkness...

a race til morning

woken by the clinks

of cowbells

underneath the blackthorn boughs—

a blossom-veiled moon.

swearing

right hands raised ...

lone veteran salutes

packing bags

   called again

      peace and war

silently walking

strumming violin . . .

the garden sweeper

adds to the melody

in a pile

of leaves

sounds of a child's

scattered laughter...

i remember hope
