BBC News

The BBC reports that

planes are leaving England,

heavy with bombs for

Bagdad.

What would you think about

in the dark sky, your

belly full of

explosives,

traveling in the tide of

history, with only the

noise of the engine

and a few tense

voices between sleep?

Your dark wing shadows

over the fields, in moonlight

of Belgium, and on to

Eastern Europe. Today, I let my

imagination feel pain I am not

qualified to write about.

Tonight, I put the newspaper to

one side, turn off the radio, and open

a book about gardening.

After all, that is what the monks did

in the Dark Ages when the shadow

spanned the world. They thought of

flowers and worked at

illuminations in gold and red and

colors they never knew one day

all peoples of every nation

might see and love.
