Long Capt Poems

Boiler, or bomb, the Sultana sank on April 27, eighteen sixty five

they head the train.
Distant dreams of...

The Big Drum of goodwill
Reeled out pleasant rhythms
To the people of the City of Aluu.
Unto us, a child is given;
Unto us, a warrior is born.

"Never Forget"

A brutal blow
