a soldier at night celebrates his 68th birthday
fiction
edward w pritchard
the night is clear but
the Moon is always at the quarter
a soldier lost in dark night celebrates his 68th birthday
his fingers aching from scratching at the hard frozen earth to bury himself
in for cover from angry low flying rifle bullets
randomly fired by unseen enemies
oh for a tattered flag or soft woman to
wrap himself in until next light
