The Medic
The spasmodic throes
of the dying,
the sickening stench
of the dead,
the shattered stare of the
war-shocked,
float and fade in this
medic's head
as he trudges on through mud
and blood,
seeking out the lost and
the wounded,
dazed in the gray haze
of gunpowder,
slain before the war even
started.
