They
© 2005 Anna Klein

They stand like soldiers
fall like toys
they march like men
and die like boys.

They are my brothers
were your sons
would be our husbands
if not for guns.

I watch them go
we watch them leave
and when they're gone
I cannot grieve.

The tears I thought
would flow and flow
have dried to salt
and froze to snow.

I wear the shirt
that has his smell
and hear him calling
me from hell.

I do not know
this war, whose choosing
I only know
that we're all losing.
