Long leather coat sheathing his whiplash body -
Wearing his shades -
Laconic, ultra cool -
Gazing at the smoking ashes of his foes -

I remembered sad churches -
Forgotten valleys -
Pale flowers -
Names of boys -
This was where they were taken -
Where their eyes were blinded -
Where the beautiful were disfigured -
Where their hearts were torn -

The glistening shore reflected the sky -
I saw our summer ghosts -
Each footprint we'd left upon the sands -

Sweetness on our tongues -
Olive trees had shaded us -
We'd walked amongst the ruins of a noble city -
Seen birds dart from shattered column to column -
Touched the stone beds of Lycian kings -
