On Military Leave During War (Cavatina) Poem by Gert Strydom

On Military Leave During War (Cavatina)



Stepping out of the train life seems quite strange;
another track
brings more happy shouting busy people;
to turn right back
to how life had once been is impossible,
under attack
he feels a stranger to his loving wife
as if he is dead while he is alive.
