Dead Men Love War

Dead men
Love war
They sit
Astride
The icy bones
Of
Their
Slaughtered horses
Grinning.
They wind
Their
Pacemakers
Especially
Tight
&
Like Napoleon
Favor
Green velvet
Dressing
Gowns
On the
Battle
Field.
They sit
In board
Rooms
Dreaming of
A profit
That
Outlives
Death.
Dead men
Love war
They like to
Anticipate
Receptions
& balls
To which
They will bring
Their loathsome
Daughters
Desolation & decay
They like
To fantasize
About
The rare vintage
Of blood
To be
Served
&
How much company
They are going
To have.
