Exposure

• Exposure(Personification and sibilance)

  merciless iced east winds that knives us...

  
• Exposure

  But nothing happens. (repeated consistently in 1st stanza)
• Exposure

  Dawn massing in the east her melancholy army
• Exposure (tri-colon)

  forgotten dreams, and stare, snow-dazed
• Exposure (metaphor)

  We turn our back to dying
• Exposure (rhetorical question)

  Is it that we are dying
• Exposure (metaphor)

  For love of God seems dying
• Exposure (sibilance)

  Sudden successive flight of bullets streak the silence
• Exposure (tri-colon)

  We only know war lasts, rain soaks, and clouds sag stormy
