(“Field of Dreams - Flanders 1917”, 2020, original oil)
HellBent
Rumors of war, hard-ons for war
Bad dreams and perverse fantasies
Driving dirty old men forward into battle.
For at least someone to do
And have done to them.
Just as a real peace is on the horizon
The machines of war come to life
Preparing the ground for harvest
To supply the hawks and crows
Their carnage.
