Not long love.
They keep saying that
it’ll be soon
and I’m biting to get at
something other
than rats.
 
How are the boys?
Do they miss me?
Tell them Daddy will be home
after the big push
 
I can’t write any of this.
All censored.  Buggers.
But this is what I’d
say if you were here.
 
This, and I love you.
 
Keep safe.  I’ll see you
when I’m home
and the rats are gone.
