Is littered with necklaces
Symbols
Shared shirts
And sweet scents
Scattered with papers
Upon which are words
Wonderfully verse
To illicit emotion
Yellowing forever
Among the dirt
And bodies
And outposts
They pick up
In wind and fly
Into barbed wire
To be eviscerated
There are odd weapons
Rapiers of princes
Hellish spears
Knight’s broadswords
Shields aplenty
Blood iron
Taken from hundreds
Of memories
To forge with it
A blade of old wounds
Fortifications
Memories and thoughts
Dead men
Telling no tales
But on the tails
Of the battles
And how their effects
Echo
How they scar
This battlefield
And mar forever
With their impacts
Ruins and new constructions
Side by side
Some forgotten
Some tended to
Consume Reality!
