  silk of his punctured lung
• manhunt : the foetus

  of metal beneath his chest
• Where did Eddie Beddves serve ?

  England bore , shaped and made aware
• The soldier : if I should

  die think only this of me
• The soldier : her sights

  and sounds her dreams happy as her day

  webby fold on fold

• A wife in London - Tis the morrow ..

  ; the fog hangs thicker
• A wife in london- his hand

  whom the worm now knows
• Wife in London : page ..

  , like old beggers under sacks
• which war does a wife in London refer to

  Gas! Quick boys !
• Dulce et : as under

  a green sea , I saw him drowning
• Dulce et : the blood

  come gargling from his froth corrupted lung
• Dulce et : his hanging

  face , like a devil sick of sin
• Mametz wood : the wasted

  young , turning back up under their plough blades
• Mametz wood : the blown

  and broken birds egg of a skull
• Mametz wood : slipped from

  their absent tongues
