Remember

Before the sunny day,
Before the beer and play,
Before you light the cooking coals:
Remember.
José M. Caldas, May 2014

"Back"
They ask me where I've been,
And what I've done and seen.
But what can I reply
Who know it wasn't I,
But someone just like me,
Who went across the sea
And with my head and hands
Killed men in foreign lands...
Though I must bear the blame,
Because he bore my name.
Philip Larkin (1922-1985)
