I heard a picture - Jim Watt

[Larry Robinson]

I heard a picture

I heard a picture once when
I was a boy
Of men crossing a farmer’s
pasture and
Their steady trump, the rustle
of their gear
And the strange wordlessness
of their march;

Only a few whispered “steady
boys” and “hold the line”

And every one of them
remembering home
