There Were Bunkers on the Hill


"You were always in a perpetual state of fear. Anybody who says they weren’t afraid was a damn liar. ... We didn’t know what morale was; we just knew we had to be there.” -Papa

the only girl i've ever loved
was born with roses in her eyes
but then they buried her alive
one day in 1945
with just her sister at her side
and only weeks before the guns
all came and rained on everyone

eisenhower said in the war
he kept her picture in his pocket that was closest to his heart
and when he hit shore,
must have been a target for the gunman
