Exposure Flashcards
Our brains…
ache in the merciless iced east winds that knive us
low drooping…
flared confuse our memory of the salient
worried…
by silence sentries whisper curious nervous
watching we…
hear mad gusts tugging on the wire
like twitching
agonies of men among its brambles
flickering gunnery…
rumbles
tha poignant…
misery of dawn begins to grow
we only know…
war lasts, rain soaks, and clouds sag stormy
dawn massing…
in the east her melancholy army
attaks once more…
in ranks on shiverking ranks of grey
but nothing…
happens
sudden successive…
flights of bullets streak the silence
pale flakes…
with fingering stealth come feeling for our faces
slowly our ghost…
drag home
glimpsing…
the sunk fires. glozed with crusted dark-red jewels
