Life during war, the heavy drapes pressed, love song of a resistance fighter

lyrics

Curfews
Fountain over granite, the engraved names ripple:
time, in their own time, and the time running past…
Black outs, the heavy drapes, edges pressed
smooth, almost rigid, so the light couldn't
couldn't——
What was that? Ssh. Ssh. Every rustle gives
off footsteps
voices
breaths
like a match and
there's a lot of branches,
vines to be caught in as if
by a search light in the middle
of the street
We met I
remember a parachute's descent, the
too vulnerable skin and thinking,
though scar soft, I'd cut
hair, wear
a uniform,
board the train, plane, tank or
go down in trenches
dreaming a campfire under
nights (curtains) so close (curtains) no
rocket (the names) could hope (names we)
to explode us (whispered)
