On Being Called to War

On Being Called to War

The sky wept pearls that
fateful day
The shape of tears and size
of duck eggs
Being called to someone
else’s war
like that though made no
difference ..
The white feather, pinned
as it was
to the back of his starched
white collar
did nowt to help matters
the day
war finally broke and the
sky wept
those now famous pearls ..
