Love Letters In Braile Poem by Damian Mac

from my view you can
tell my eyesight is not so clear,
have a letter for me from my
one true love and please
read it to me

eyesight suffered and shot, during
our many years of war, when
my brother reads me the long sought
after letter, i remember
too see clearly and mock myself
for still loving your dearly

you will maybe wait for me, although
a friend says the only good thing too
come from rheims is the champagne and
we all lay here blind.
the kaisers gas us away from the
cannons
the rats
the fray but
can you still love me this way?
im but a new orphan rebuilding myself,
from foreign european clay
