Exposure

• Five line stanzas representative of the never ending nature of war
• Broken pararhyme scheme to show monotony of war and the gradually worsening cycle
• Themes of misery in war, power of weather/nature , loss of humanity
• Our brains ache in the merciless iced east winds that knives us
• Less deadly than the air that shudders black with snow
• Slowly out ghosts drag home
• ... But nothing happens - repeated at the end of almost all stanzas
