Brandenburg Jilt

If Brandenburg can go And much else in a row Under the bridges flow The sickle in tow Fields then plow with bayonets Root blooming of the of rosettes Give skeletons a lie to the closets Grain ye pour in empty rockets Dim the flares by northern lights Doves be fly in cross hair sights No fear rains from the heights Fatigues fall away to jeans an tights Hose down blooms tang of cordite Some meadows given a respite Standing crops escape the blight Children at school have no fright (Islamabad) (May 14,2009)
