NOIR POETRY 365 DAY 007 | POEM #009

RED HARVEST

we once stood silent 

among stone waves

outside the Douaumont 

tower of muted bones  

loss turned crosses

after the red harvest 

a white sea

& salt felt heavy 

on the blank page 

as words were 

put to rest

RED HARVEST is also the title of a novel written by Dashiell Hammett.
