War Valentine

If our true nature
is to scrounge
and hoard
to grab and run
our gratitude
and wonder
on a horse’s
head or hand-
tooled phrase
about your country
or my country
slouched in a
no-name bar
on the painted
edge of this desert
valley floor then
let the war rage
on till we’re all
done for and
can start again.
