Journal Entry:
War blew in, blew in savagely
against and with sway. March 8, 2017
Judy DeCroce
green soldiers of March
tipped, tipping to a fall
in a theatre of engagement
uprooted casualties
their twist and snap
swelling piles of death
bullied to the last
by a weapon unseen
falling without grace
branches, lost limbs,
tangled or straight
yet there stands victors
victors among them—distinguished
in wind’s accent
