When The Leaves Come Out

Hellraisers Journal: Impressions of War from Sculptor, Nellie V Walker, and Poet, Ralph Chaplin

A feast of mothers' pain is here laid low
For swarming insects hovering on high.
Grey rats, red muzzled through the trenches go
Where your death-tortured features face the sky.
-Ralph Chaplin
