armistice day


armistice day

eleventh hour
eleventh day
eleventh month,
ends the brutal years.
frightened men fought
frightened men died
frightened heroes.
the stink of  rotting flesh,
filthy men and shit.
blood, writhing bodies,
cries and shrieks of wounded
and the almost dead.
minds ruined, bodies
wrecked and death.
ends the brutal years,
eleventh hour
eleventh day
eleventh month
