    Poem Commentary

    when i remember what my mother went through during the coup of april 86 in my country, when my dad went away to war, i stil remember seeing something in her eyes as she waved to him.

    fredie, my love

    Just above the window,
    That opens into the garden,
    Is a picture I took of you,
    Months before you went to war.

    Each time I look into those eyes
    As you watch me in the silence,
    Thrills set my heart racing,
    Fast like disco in a night club.

    Your lips tell of those kisses,
    We stole in your backyard,
    When our days were hot and young.

    The old farmhouse,
    Where we spent our days
    Is crumbling to pieces,
    And Wild weeds have drowned the garden.

    Each night I cry myself to sleep,
    Wondering if it will be over,
    I mean the loathsome war,
    And you, coming back to me.

    As the days melt into weeks,
    And the boring months into years,
    the thing i have for you grows,
    like a turnip in the rainy season
