Survivor

Flagpole stands its ground
even after the battle dies
stump survives winter

It goes on

image of a single flower with three people walking by in the background - text that reads, watching, life passing by, single soldier

Watching
life passing by—
single soldier.

National War Memorial, Canberra

Bloody-red poppies,

As war mother’s tears
shedding, scattering plenty,
yet prettier, spring.

Uncorked

a soldier, a wine

barrel-full of tales

one shovel at a time

one glass
