Nette Onclaud Poet Lyric

All For Dignity

groom gone, mocked
 by wounded run
from enemy bomb,
red hydrogen on 
 deep ground: journey of
gunpowder fog , ebony…

 mercy, mercy!
 he roughed on, 
he moved on
bore robbed order…
beyond doggone echo,
honored cup of God reborn 


one more eve…

now , bound for home.


(a)


peaceful tidings to all soldiers who were
re-united with their families this holiday season


. .     .    .   ..
