From Day One
from day one he has
flown his flag/ it is
usually a flag resembling
surrender which is never
surrender it is more like
another declaration of
war/ with his orders of this
blood-soaked field, the
skeletons have never
needed god or jerusalem
or everything to become
clear in a great white light
of swords and a savageness
coherent in the tongues
and languages of the wilderness/
