For Lawrence J. Holder
soldiers in trees
lament to crosby's
white christmas
men wear corsages of blood.
war, that bright
vivid. red affliction
a flying hand
bitch slaps
his mess kit
a horrific side dish--
men mock the
geneva convention
and put their pistols
to the craniums
of German soldiers
the innocent
eyes of young men
clouded with jaded dust
the artillery
bombs their ears
and will do so
for years....
