Poetry

By day, by the York,The colors of spent treesAnd of the falling leavesRepeating themselves,Dying across the field,Waving in the wind.Yes. And the color of old ranks Came striding.And I remembered the crack of the flintlocks.The colors of the ranksBlended with the leaves themselves,Turning in the wind,In the sunlit wind.They swept over the the field,Moving as rows and ranksToward walls of earth.I thought I heard them crack - the flintlocks.Was it a crack for the sunlightOr for the leaves themselves,Turning in the wind,Turning as flamesTurn in fire,Turning as the rows of flintlocksTurned toward the burning earth,Echoing the steps of the ranks,Beating with the cracking of the flintlocks?Or was it for the heartbeat of our ranks?Across the fieldI saw humanity gatheredLike the leaves themselves,Moving in the wind.Then I saw how the sun moved,Burned over the colors of the ranks,Far above the flashing of the flintlocks.
