Remembrance

The Tower of London ceramic poppies are now finished. The moat is steeped in red. This is what it looked like on the first day, back in August.





Silent Testimony   by Jan Jones

Poppies pour quietly from an open window
Each a broken body on a broken field far from home
In a while, the Last Post will sound
But for now this is beautiful, and tragic.
