There is no undoing of it

Thoughts on our War in Iraq:

It is hard to believe
this is happening
at the behest of my country.

Like the good Germans
who swept the ashes
from their window sills
that had fallen overnight
from the crematoriums

We go about our lives
as if it isn't happening.

To our eternal shame.

It has been done.
It is being done.
It will be done.

There is no undoing of it.

Ever.
