Peter Recites "Militat Omnis Amans"

translation: Every Lover is a Soldier.
(Dedicated to MaryEdna)

Days I translate
Caesar's Gallic Wars,
study maps,
write dispatches
in the summer heat.

Nights I storm the outworks,
scale your dark walls,
charge through
the gates
you throw open.

The siege
has lasted three years.
Time and again,
your surrender conquers me.
