A LULLABY AT SUNDOWN (For All the Slain Children Tagged as Collateral Damages of War) At sundown, on my hammock hour, I hum a lullaby. And I become the magus among the cattails chanting: O give me a home bursting with laughter and song, O give me a nook to hide and hold quicksilver dreams. In their crannies, I shall wrap them with sunflowers; In icy snow chambers, I shall save slivers of sunlight To keep them warm. I shall be the rabbit popped out Of the magus’ cone hat, I shall jump and disappear Into their hideaway taking the darkness with me. In their lairs and tree houses, I shall bring dry flint And candlesticks and all things bright and crackling; I shall be with my wee ones and darkness be damned. --- ALBERT B. CASUGA
