Eleventy-‘Leven

x

It’s a child’s number

Like the child who grows up

And goes to war

Survives

There are scars

x

To talk about the war is a sin

Sometimes there are vows

Mostly, it’s harrowing

To say

x

Harrowing

To remember

Better to enjoy

Softer textures after

x

But it won’t go away, remembrance

So say something

Like an order

Do it now
