Battle
I fight for king and country.
My wife mends my cloak in the dim firelight.
She hums an old tune.
I cannot remember the name.
The lines are formed, the flags fly.
The sun is high and bright, the breeze is light.
I have seen this dream before.
In the chaos, I fall.
We, the dead and dying, lie together beneath the perfect sky.
No, crow, not yet.
