Combat Fatigue.A Poem by Ben McKeonA meditiation on probably one of the toughest rowing races I ever took part in, along with a few other bits and pieces weighing on my mind at the time.With
the sun setting On
Saturday And
with A
body wearied, Grew
I tired of applauding La
Belle Dame Sans
Merci, Her
self-said changes And
blatant deductions; So
I cut with my Fluid
feelings A
blade of thirty-four And
at the end of it all, I wore green. © 2019 Ben McKeon |
