The rain stopped,
the sun was gone
Mercy was in
short supply
Smoke hung over
the trenches
A bugler in the mud
with his cry
Bodies were being
carted off
New songs were written
to the dead
Just another day in
World War 1
That started and ended
in dread
Villanova Pennsylvania: November, 2014:
Opening page to my new novel, 'Death From The Sky.'
