CASKETS AT TAN SON NHUT
      Rows of silver caskets
      glinting in the sun -
      in the background of a photo
      of a soldier with a gun.
      An extra-added bonus
      in the picture that he sent
      It spiralled me to sadness
      which wasn't what he meant.
      He's smiling in the photo
      and though it's black and white
      I'm blinded by the caskets
      Gleaming in the light.

      Christina 1997.
