In War The Fathers Bury Their Sons.

(Today I was challenged to an imaginary war. I don't like war - imaginary or real).

There's a graveyard in northern France where all the dead boys from D-Day are buried. The white crosses reach from one horizon to the other. I remember looking it over and thinking it was a forest of graves. But the rows were like this, dizzying, diagonal, perfectly straight, so after all it wasn't a forest but an orchard of graves. Nothing to do with nature, unless you count human nature.

Maybe we should visit the grave before starting a war.

In peace the sons bury their fathers, but in war the fathers bury their sons.
