Street Music Valentine

Even over the noise
of the war on TV the air
conditioner blasting
and the dog continually
barking next door
any child or I can catch
the calliope creeping
down our street
what sweet music
bringing these last
hot days to us here
in Afghanistan Arizona
ice cream on the beach
even if without an ocean
and the dying in the street.
