the ghosts of men linger in the copses

the ghosts of men linger in the copses

morning mist eerily reminiscent of the fog of war shrouds the trees an hugs the earth

war lingers in the air on some forgotten battle field where young men cried out before they died

and somewhere someone proclaimed that a tragedy

and somewhere for some relative or wife yet living, it was.
