BREATH PLUMES IN THE CHILL

 

Breath plumes in the chill

Of the morning still

When suddenly, harsh whistles blow

Shrilly breaking the silence

And then the order comes

It’s time to advance

So, over the top go the lads

Clambering out of the trench

To stride with purpose

Towards the enemy line

When the machine guns

Speak their deadly greeting

And their body’s fall

On the scarred

And blood-stained land
