Still this Ground Speaks

By: Kyle Brogmus

Westbound wandering peoples ploughed these

plenteous fields; tilling bones crushed beneath

expansion, like Celitic corpses fertilising ample Alps;

a death enriching slough furrowed with war’s

wreckage where raging echoes rattle off a languid durge.

Bodies buried bloat atop their mass mulled over lost

to memory, and I lay down upon their grass to gaze on

frothing clouds that pass; a plume of peace, a

movement that is still.
