Free verse in reaction to To Josephine
A man once loved many women
Any woman, and quite numerous of them
He loved each and every one In a different way from the rest
A man once fought for his country
In as much as he fought for love
For love and country were one and the same I
n his banishment he met a dame
Although their union was banned By the people they loved and hated
But that didn’t matter to them They fought until the very end
Before his last, dying breath
They married each other
He’d follow her around the world
North, South, East, or West
