Six Feet Under Poem 6/6/6/6/6/6
One Thousand Cranes
: Red Soil by Gypsy Blue Rose
In Honor of All Veterans


R e d  S o i l  in a strange land,

             where artillery-sounds

          echoes in wet rice fields.

Lives cut short …....... unjustly,

     as tear-creeks flow at home.

T h e   wind whistles ...Oorah!
