Picton
of the white steps
a cenotaph
to honour
the glorious dead.
The soldiers uniform
dazzling white
angelic in statue
a brave performance
at the entrance way
to peace perfect peace.
A German accent
minutes off the ferry
lights a cigarette
the smoke lingers
amongst the colourful poppies.
White sails silently approach
we throw stones into the
clear jade waters
skimming across
the deep green reflections
of the sounds.
I am from the old country
remembering war films
with my Father
they always ended well.
Avie..
