Countdown to The Trench

Poetry of the trenches,
of senses still
Age stood stuck in the soil,
streaks of piercing sound
swallow any hope

Pride and honour
all fade away,
as the eyes of the enemies
slip, here to stay

Don't listen,
for the sounds of sorrow
curl up in a corner of your mind

For a moment,
do not stop

As it slips through your soul, silent and slow.
