Hellen still rides the horse

Fritz Hamilton

Hellen still
rides the horse/ through
Iraq, Afghanistan &

now Libya/ the
soldiers now have
new soil on which

to die, &
the wooden horse is
the cross from which

they spill their
bodies & their blood, &
the Styx is red as the

bodies flow down it from
Baghdad to New York &
Kandahar to Chicago &

Tripoli to L.A. as
the Asian carp feed upon
their rotting flesh &

chew their bone/ the
world turns to
clay covered

with statues as
our headstones as
the grass turns black &

is sucked back
into the
murdered earth ...
