hands freeze fast
tongue curses Garand’s device
unable to let it go
cold and fear
fill body
defeat spirit
we face
two opponents
one goal
you fire first
I return volley
and am amazed
how your blood
reddens the snow too
Author notes
John Garand designed one of the weapons, the M1 Garand, that was used in WWII.
