War Bonds

by Echo Chambers

Hearsay and heresy

Owl hoots and hollers

Worlds apart become like

Whispers in the night

A subtle kiss for privileged ears and

Reminder that these are not my gods

But still I pray

On bruised knees

Not for salvation although

Death comes

Surely as the rain in spring and so

Every spring I wonder

Do daffodils feel growing pains and

Do you? Do you

Yawn or yowl?
