Radio
I left it
on when I
left the house
for the pleasure
of coming back
ten hours later
to the greatness
of Teddy Wilson
"After You've Gone"
on the piano
in the corner
of the bedroom
as I enter
in the dark
from New and Selected Poems by David Lehman
There is a way in which the woman to the left in the dark hat who is looking up at the camera, indeed at us, speaks to me that there is also the need to remember those who "struggled to survive in that mad world of blood, death and fire"...those who were given no "tin hat and gun"...the women and children. Those "non-combatants" who are also trapped in these slaughters and about whom we hear almost nothing. Where is their wreath of remembrance?
