Mametz Woodjuly 1916 In Memory Poem by Jean Bernard Parr

Mametz Woodjuly 1916 In Memory



A tree is explosion in slow motion
a wood therefore a creeping barrage
whistling steel like starlings twirl
and unflesh stumps
some will find green sap spring
when leaves once more unfurl
to hide the blackened bark
