TIMES OF WAR

I try to grasp time

hold unto events

in the incessant flow

between past and future

to grasp the present

the instant

a small part of life

groping forever

to hold

a moment of warmth

in peace

in the incessant flow

of war.

Haunted by

 images:

Korea

 Vietnam

 Kuwait

   Kosovo

 Iraq 

  Arab

  Israeli

  children

groping forever

to hold a moment

of warmth

peace

in the incessant flow

  of war
