Was it so terrible?
The countryside in spring?
Oui, ma fille,
it was,
horrifying.
The red
all I can still see
is the red
everywhere
it stuck in their hair,
behind my eyes.
It was terrible, the red.”
The red was the blood,
Grandpere?  The blood
of the dying soldiers?
Non, non.  The
poppies.
They were crushed
before they could bloom.”
i don't know. critique? it needs something.
