Finally --war is over
trains are running
mail’s coming through
“I cried for joy over your precious letters”
so many letters & the latest
Good Housekeeping (March 1926)
Her “most pressing need” now is help with Marie
Spend more time with your child --her reading says
Take her for walks away from the usual
-----surroundings
But there’s so much teaching to do
& walks are taboo --The beach is horrible
with blood & memory of war
The beheaded & shot were buried in sand
but dogs will be dogs
in China as elsewhere
(This poem first appeared in Grail)
