Soilder
Keep your head down soldier
And march on
Grime in the crevices between your fingers
The glass and tombstones crumble
Under your weight
You tread a lonely path
You fight against the howling wind
Battered and bruised
But don’t you dare sob
For the memories
that stick in your throat like honey
Clogging your breath
Stay in the mud
Tilting your head to the
Pavement-gray sky
Where no stars are found
