don’t want to fight, don’t want to die

 


said you used to be fun

said you used to be alive but

her eyes were filled with insects

 

her tongue had been cut out by soldiers

 

are you tired of this?

 

fear is understandable

 

the days grow shorter and the

sunlight more precious

 

i lose track of the distances between

the people i love

 

from the shore you can

almost see the next piece of land

 

can see that the bridge

doesn’t quite reach

 

we have been told that the

next war will solve that
