When geese fill
The evening sky

And Vee’s follow
Line upon line
Across clouds tinged
Red as the blood shed
By brothers on
Foreign soil,

I too long to ride
On wings of wind

Escaping the cold
Which creeps into
Bones that remember
Too many who
Won’t make
The trip again.

Longing for ears
Filled with the rush
Of passing distance
And brothers…

Sisters…

Others…

I remember

less
Raucous cries
And processions
Of suited passing

this is haunting and pulls tears into the sockets and a lump into the throat...well done, mournfully well done

I have to tell you...I am at a loss of words.

Excellent writing.

A good poem for the politicians and military to ponder, though they may only know one "V" -- that of "victory"...  over what, exactly...?  A heavy write, Ron -- makes the heart heavy...
