TRENCH BRAINFARE 671127/MTL

By JC STREET © 2004 all rights reserved


Only at night did the firing
cease

wane

or seemingly drift dully from the sky so that
in writing our letters home

to loved ones

we hoped for just
one more
innocuous starshell
to light the pages

--30— November 27, 1967

So compact

...yet saying so much between the lines (no pun intended)

I love this, JC!

but I must not have clicked on submit.

Anyway, this is wonderfully perfect poem.

Beautifully balanced

on a single fulcrum: the desire for incoming

Small...

....but brilliant!.....needing the light of the shells to write to -- what a concept!
