“What is history if not a fable agreed upon?” –Napoleon

If I   should get    caught in  the crossfire
before  finishing this poem      Will you
dovetail our voices  together
If I should   bleed out   before
topping off    please keep  the truth
we carried   into the war   that threatens
to silence   the words   we use   to shorten
the       distance           between us
