Somme (4): this field (the river)

One of the water-filled trenches at the Somme during the winter of 1916-17

this field
is a river

I see my face
reflected
in her waters

~

this field
it is a river

I feel her waters
rippling
across my face

~

this field
that is the river

I feel her
carry me

carry me
towards
the widest sea
