Filming the War


Same day
changing our things,
same day
washing the sky from our wings.
Mosaics on the bathroom floor
Mediterranean breeze;
filming the war.

Same time
looking at sand,
same time
panning the lens over
land.
Rewrite the scriptures,
heroes are shown
learning to walk
on their knees;
filming the war

I really like this, Ewa. Very moving and beautifully written. You are such a creative family!

Has the character of a gritty black and white epic, but also the rhythm of a lyric. Make us an mp3 we can put up here Jed?

I love 'washing the sky from our wings'. Shows how the heavens were misused as a killing field, which I never thought of before. A childhood of reading Biggles and ignoring the fact of the killing.
