I admit
I haven't tried to stop
wondering what might happen
when we touch

Whether it will be just another
dripping breath
or the collision of two pieces
of the same machine
that would've manufactured
blank ammunition during the wars
and flame throwers
for the peace rallies
if only we'd come together
sooner.

This poem goes to eleven. Sorry. I had to say it. I loved this though.

I love this, after reading the first stanza, the second was completely unexpected, packed a punch, I like that.

There probably are flame throwers at peace rallies. I love flame throwers. Great imagery, meggs.
