Apocalypse of Memory 

. 

From the apocalypse of memory 

You came to remind me 

Of lines crossing battlefields 

Of days when rain fell on muddy mounds 

From terrible gray skies 

. 

I believe that 

They doubt most who are about to die 

Who hear the shells curse the dark 

And strike their nails against the sky 

Relieving hopelessness in a benefaction of fire 

. 

I saw a man die in such an instant 

Who heard his gurgling cries 

Could not believe in anything 

Only the whistling of the senseless hurricane 

That came and lifted us from hell 

Our true domain
