Say One Hail Mary<\/p>\n
for the boys of the war<\/p>\n
in perfect formation<\/p>\n
acres and acres of them<\/p>\n
still lifes of lives lost<\/p>\n
My lovely young men.<\/p>\n
Say One Hail Mary<\/p>\n
for my father<\/p>\n
in similar repose<\/p>\n
But even his life,<\/p>\n
untouched by early tragedy<\/p>\n
should have been longer.<\/p>\n
Say One Hail Mary<\/p>\n
for me-<\/p>\n
I stare at the graves of strangers<\/p>\n
and wonder-<\/p>\n
Will anyone remember me<\/p>\n
with the fluid intensity of loss?<\/p>\n
