We only


Lived


On hopes.

We used


To say,

"Every shell has a man's number."



There were Several

Pieces of men


Lying about.


It


was


raining.

I slipped on

My mask,


But did so

Too late.


Sinking,


I noticed the


Dirt crack.

All of a sudden,


I became


Buried alive.

Lee had been

Buried alive.



It


got


dark.


My legs


Had been


Broken.


Fellows whom we


Had left behind,


Joined us.
