Was a boy just last week or so,
Rude, pale flesh, hairy dong,
Perfect, but for torn flag of leg, or throat, or gut,
Interrupted by fire engine red of gore, a flower of exit wound,
All else about the man is sheathed in dun,
Dedicated dust, engineered earthtones,
Mimicry of soil,
And the man’s frantic attendants.
