memory twists & resists across sixty years yet this one has always
it seems been there as i always remember it the same way or is it
the story it's become in my mind that somehow stays the same as
i look up at my mother standing there a shadowy silhouette above
me dark against new bright light streaming through the window now
she'd raised the blinds (always down for years now? always? i
cannot remember that or not) telling me this is such a great day
dougie the war is over isn't that a great thing?
