[Poem] The Prize

  Something old I dug up, wrote this last year.
  
  --
  
  The days be weary
  and greys be my companion
  I have seen the sun
  arched high in the sky
  the call of my brothers
  echo in the death and life
  which the desert calls
  the song of misery.
  
  I have eaten dust
  kicked by a tango of bullets
  I have dreamt of you
  while the smoke of flares
  covered me like a veil.
  Do you ever think
  that I might see you
  again?
  
  Today we launched at 0600
  the stars above Arabia
  winked at me.
  I entered the mosaic portal
  and I hefted my mistress.
  She gleamed and glistened
  I could almost listen
  to her sweet clicks.
  
  But something laid me
  down to the sweet earth
  and I saw a daffodil
  beside me.
  It glimmered and I shook.
  I reached for you
  our son, our future.
  The grey cleared
  I stand here,
  clad in peace.
  This is my prize
  my sweet reward.
