PD Lyons
Wars and the stories of wars
Raised by parents raised by their
own wars and stories of war
and would I dance with you
just the clumsy way old age might with youth
all angular uninhibited
ourselves and our imagined selves
hearts softened by tears
wars and stories of wars
raised in an awkwardness of survival by their own
wars and the stories of their wars
what about you is beautiful
makes the sun brighter
the night diamonds sparkle?
Ask me I could tell you
Wars and the stories of wars
