Lest We Forget

Already we are planning memorials for the fallen.
Past memorials have included:

58267namesetchedonablackgashofcollectiveangst
(2977+6)namesonbronzesneartwosquarereflectingpools
And the World War II Birthday Cake Extravaganza
(who can deny the Holocaust?).

Already (again) we are planning memorials for those
who fell,

who have fallen
who are falling
who will fall.

This is my fifth year of writing a poem a day in April.
