an old writer and his words

A writer explores the hidden corners of his mind.

HUP TWO

We marched
for hours
going
nowhere

We sat
sweltering
in classrooms
pretending
to learn

Six weeks
later
they told us
we were
warriors

Our hair
could begin
to grow back

Heaven
save us
from this
endless war,
from
ourselves.
