War Memorial |
Good, have I done good? |
I fell on command |
Give me my first and last medal |
Observed in ritual behind the door |
A heavy ivory white door |
Where I’ve come off my hinges |
Fire underground, I murdered a sentry there |
Without wanting to |
Wasn’t nothing else to do |
Saw a squad of deserters hung from an oak |
Saw officers shot from their saddles |
Through driving snow and through black smoke |
With a pack of feral dogs snapping at my hooves |
Eyes rolled back in their heads |
The blank blessed eyesight of the dead |
Entire battalions snuffed like a spark |
Beat like a heart |
Drowned by an ocean |
Don’t tell me the ending of the play |
Don’t make me look |
Look in the mirror |
