Words
A particularly robust
set of words precedes
and upholds death
in war. Funerals, though,
are more succinct, direct.
Brevity becoming our soul
under unspeakable duress.
I prefer expunging these words,
but imprecations shower
down from those caressing
their resonance.
Labels: linguistics, patriotism, war deaths
