Eternal Flame


Eternal Flame

Clicker-clack, shicker-shack
The aging keys rattle back
Typist here, translator there
The pretty one married last year

Iron clink, metal clunk
Steel wheels ply the trunk
Almaty’s old and its new
Mini-skirts and gaudy shoes

Camcorders whir, brides purr
The eternal flame libedoes spur
The brides are new then they’re old
No flames survive winter cold

Shiver back, wrap the sack
An aging soldier coughs and hacks
Cuddles the eternal flame for warmth
His medals lie as history taunts.
