Goya's 'Distasters of War'
the dead are a field in
themselves
the fresh mown 
have the future spread over them
not evenly though 
you couldn't predict
and there are the living 
the well, the ill 
all attitude 
some scratch at the sky 
some cast eyes down 
             to keep going 
it could go on for a while 
how precious every mother's son 
attired in all the battle's soot
and with both boots still on

This is a heart-breaking poem full of grim images. The "turn" in the final stanza is beautiful.
