1
in the first world war
2
my grandfather
3
is fighting in the trenches
4
and I can't conceive
5
of the things he saw
6
as his friends were blown to pieces
7
in a chlorine burst over no-man's land
8
they shot the boy deserters
9
and it feels like chloroform
10
and it feels like chloroform
11
in the second World War my father served
12
in the stormy North Atlantic
13
as torpedoes burst his convoy hid
14
from the U-boats of the Fascists
15
the powder burns on the gunners' hood
16
the pea coats of the fallen
17
and the boots I bought
18
from the vintage shop
19
were torn off from a dead man
20
and it feels like chloroform
21
and it feels like chloroform
