All And Everyone |
Death was everywhere, |
in the air |
and in the sounds |
coming off the mounds |
of Bolton’s Ridge. |
Death’s anchorage. |
When you rolled a smoke |
or told a joke, |
it was in the laughter |
and drinking water |
it approached the beach |
as strings of cutters, |
dropped into the sea and lay around us. |
Death was in the ancient fortress, |
shelled by a million bullets |
from gunners, waiting in the copses |
with hearts that threatened to pop their boxes, |
as we advanced into the sun |
death was all and everyone. |
Death hung in the smoke and clung |
to 400 acres of useless beachfront. |
A bank of red earth, dripping down death |
now, and now, and now |
in the air |
and in the sounds |
coming off the mounds |
of Bolton’s Ridge. |
Death’s anchorage. |
Death was in the staring sun, |
fixing its eyes on everyone. |
It rattled the bones of the Light Horsemen |
still lying out there in the open |
as we, advancing in the sun |
sing «Death to all and everyone». |
