Brother's Blood
a blazing blast
of sharp, eerie silence
shatters, scatters away
all memory of ever having
a sense of hearing;
blinding lightning,
dazzling flame, deathly white
far darker
than the darkest stormy night
that wipes away
what's left of faintest sight;
crouching low,
crawling slow through bloody mud,
wounded warriors,
with their dying, with their dead,
themselves barely alive,
through suffering they survive,
never pushed down,
never trampled upon
in ignominy,
the blood bond
forged strongest by shared agony!
