WAR AND POETS

What is it with war that turns people into poets?
A shield, a refuge of words, weaponry of the verb
They carry us through the darkest shameful moments
And we choose to build poems
      ----- Like air, or water or love
They too purify us

I bath in the sea when the sun rises
Your hands touched mine / for the first time
And I tried a smile mirrored in your eyes / for the first time
You too, like air, water, or love, purify me
