“Facing
Sure Death”
cji
7/26/12
Among the
valiant souls
closest
to the walls of fire
strewn by
arrows and stones
brimming
burning oils heat
scalding
one and then more
death
exploding all around
facing
concrete pillboxes
artillery
raining lasting death
none
taking another breath
running
from dogs as foxes
yet in
winter’s ice bound
facing
sure death sore
lingering
afraid of defeat
bleached
now their bones
recorded
within the scrolls!
