"...And I have no more taste for war..."

lyrics

Deserter


Prove me wrong——
the charges, the light brigades
too quickly dimmed:
on either side, advancing
uniforms, picked
picked off——
Numbers ticking
on a work camp list,
names misplaced & then
the pages——
Letters, novels, biographies,
who will write history?
Snow songs, sand songs, tropics
of green, of mud, an ocean,
these landscapes, waves
singing lives.
Shelter, food, loved ones smuggled,
deported, sold——
People will do anything, anything,
& I have no more taste
for war, Mother Courage.
