BELLUM PARTUM

And the whole earth with death and death-cries filled, My Lai,
Might long remember the face of suffering Dresden!
This is a battle hard to endure, and grim. Gaza Gaza Gaza
     – Dorothy L Sayers tr The Song of Roland

 

Like zealots                                                          The bomber
coked on bullets,                                                  was in labor,
the soldiers spread                             sucked a deep breath,
metal sperm                                                 dropped her load,
into harems,                                                   her egg of blood, 
their birth of death.                                        her birth of death.
