Subject: snap: "dilution of memory"
ghosts it seems
or just grave corpses
bones of an army
gone to rust and sand
' troops and kit ...
pretty frayed at the edges'
how edgy then
and now inturned
to ward off memory
pay no attention
crumpled hills of metal
left for remembrance
flowers of offal
'all fall down'

There was no sign of survivors, and
the poetry reading went on.
