Image for the poem Wartime Love

Wartime Love

In an apartment shuttered in darkness,
Tangled bedsheets stained with love,
Hold the written record of tongues
Speaking in flesh.

Tongues that know well
Of their approaching deaths,
But even on a night filled with distant bombs,
They fall sweaty apart with a sated sigh.
