to KEN DICKINSON' via A. Poem For Today

At the Head of the Table


A Senior General with an air of authority speaks of war, 

civil unrest, air and ground battles, back to the time 

of Castro, Hitler, Mussolini, the assassination 

of Archduke Ferdinand. Monologue comes 

to a close. His mouth the shape of a heart. 

Between closed lips, the silhouette of

of a peace dove.  Above his chin

a tiny mole in the shape 

of a distant time period. 

If all talk of war 

would end that

way.



- Patty LeBon Herb
