first night ~
tossing a dollar in the old man's hat.
cresting new year's wave
breaks over the hushed planet ~
we wait and watch
australia, japan, europe ~
world war one echo
"the thin gray line, does it hold?"
all quiet
as midnight rolls over the atlantic
in flanders,
do the poppies still bloom red?
