Poetry By day, by the York, The colors of spent trees And of the falling leaves Repeating themselves, Dying across the field, Waving in the wind. Yes. And the color of old ranks Came striding. And I remembered the crack of the flintlocks. The colors of the ranks Blended with the leaves themselves, Turning in the wind, In the sunlit wind. They swept over the the field, Moving as rows and ranks Toward walls of earth. I thought I heard them crack - the flintlocks. Was it a crack for the sunlight Or for the leaves themselves, Turning as flames Turn in fire, Turning as the rows of flintlocks Turned toward the burning earth, Echoing the steps of the ranks, Beating with the cracking of the flintlocks? Or was it for the heartbeat of our ranks? Poetry Across the field I saw humanity gathered Like the leaves themselves, Moving in the wind. Then I saw how the sun moved, Burned over the colors of the ranks, Far above the flashing of the flintlocks.
