Untitled No. 1
Chris Mills

It started with words in a bar on a late winter's evening

By the first flush of spring, sides were chosen

And lines were drawn

The red summer sun set on fields of banners waving

And the autumn leaves fell like bodies

From the battlements

We dug in, played to win, for we knew

Our cause was righteous

It did not matter that we knew not what it was

For the radio said that the lives of our wives and babies

Were under attack by vampires and aliens

In the mud, we suffered the frost and the cannon fire

As generals fed on the breast of the war machine

Commanding us to die for their gilded pleasures

While maggots ate all of our rations clean

A thought like a thread sent out

From beneath the Atlantic

Carried news of the fast-approaching enemy line

As my lips drank deep the blood of a terrible monster

I recognized two dead eyes and a face like mine

We broke ranks, smoked and drank

In the heart of an unholy city

Traded chocolate with children

Hid Vermeers beneath our coats

Made love to the whores on the steps of the Tower of Babel

And woke with steely blades pressed to our throats

A thousand years in a cage, we thought ourselves forgotten

Prisoners of something we did not understand

When word finally came that the fighting all was over

Though we could return, we could not go home again
