Scene From A War Film Poem by Thomas Rickarby

Scene From A War Film

Rating: 5.0


A girl is softly laughing at the end of the hall.
As I stumble, half asleep, to the whisky in the bar.
My wife is sending letters to her kids in Tel Aviv
as the maid brings in a trolley overstacked with hotel sheets
There's a whistle in the background,
could be a kettle out of sight.

and we all go out like lights.
