he crawled to me upon that silent night,
an offering in camouflage he dressed.
i took his beating heart without a fight,
his passing from my knife-swift work i blessed.
were we not brothers in each others arms
when i in the victory of extinguished light ?
upon the memorie of his death still warms
me on this cold and silent night.
Mary Angela Nangini's poems celebrate the richness of life and love. From the city to cottage-country and the roads in between, Nangini explores the changing seasons of her varied region. (This book will soon be reprinted in hard cover.)
