last in year baltimore
there was a war on
black out shades on the windows
air raid wardens on the street corners
as the last gas street lamp was extinguised
on a cold foggy december night
a single candle burning
in the front room of a house
full of frightened adults
you told me a story
to lul a bye my fears.
“Where is that man who has forgotten words that I may have a word with him?”
