Analysis of A Warrior's Chant
Wrapping emotion around
the conflict
The war played out
with words
The fury of shouted
diction
Slaying enemies still
unheard
Shooting a feeling
into the onslaught
Attacking the silence
as legions advance
Loading insight into
the canons
Exploding emptiness,
—with a warrior's chant
(Villanova Pennsylvania: February, 2016)
