auxiliary

iron mesh lattices mask the empty
window glassy eyes locked behind
call to mind the trench men
they throw grenades and shade
who name the auxiliary corp cowards
forgetting the seconds fare no better than firsts
and sometimes catch the worst
they dug the holes seven feet down
an extra foot for good measure
to water the grave where grace will die
if not you and I
