Tipton Poetry Journal – Spring 2022
Concerning the War Terry Savoie How we fought day & night, fought over the war without any end in sight, fought in our all-night bull sessions as though that non-stop wrangling might render us something more meaningful than those endless cups of coffee we drank designed to drown out our rage, our guilt. But our hearts? Yes, they beat on but the argument ended up going nowhere beyond eating us alive as all wars must inevitably do before they shuffled off to swallow the next generation & the next.
