Dead Soldiers
 
The blood stank,
the air filled with feasting insects,
even more so,
awakening vultures,
which had to come to tear,
at the swollen hideous flesh,
so far away I heard,
the howling of the hungry wolves,
as the bones of the soldiers,
turned to soot and dust,
never to return in the twilight,
of the night,
not ever again.
