a trench they dug
we exchanged sweet mementos
raised barbed wire
we stole hidden glances
built a wall
we recited illicit poems
then they hoisted my flag, and yours
i retreated, so did you
marched towards our self-imposed loyalties
***
the loyalty of love
or the love for loyalty?

Dear Sonya,
Thank you for this wonderful poem.
We often have so many self-imposed loyalties, all of which keep us in prison.
All good wishes,
robert

Unfortunately, love for loyalty won, it seems.
