to-do list on this day: turn
the television off. shun
the sight of coffins prettied-
up in bunting. write
a poem of women whose breasts
are filled with milk. write
a poem of men who teach
the young to love & not to kill.
to reiterate: on this memorial day
2014: turn the television off.
shun the sight of coffins shamed
with colors of delusion.
ignore the notes of lying bugles:
the sound of coins
clicking, manipulated
by the ancient claws
of ancient men.
