Dreams Last Even in War

by  on December 12, 2017 :: 
Among scarlet guns,
held in the unrested clench of fists
of tired troops,
in the long, long battle,
dreams last. 
Among the fogged schizophrenia
of peace wanted
and war necessary,
within all the fighting,
dreams last.
Among the uncharitable cargo
on the backs of soldiers,
even within the tense disembarkation
of olive drab or navy blue
in all their hearts and heads,
dreams last
even unto the insistent numeration
of the final count.
