To all those who stood in Gelibolu trenches. Everywhere was dirt. Dried grit was all we saw. Fear stripping it of it history; dust, made clod. Skin, dusty burnished,... losing its shine. Uniformly merging with the ancient soil. Dust, sand, pebble and mute, proud rock, Lined the fields of dead, our final full-time bed, As with each morning we to each other said, "Ours is a far better soil than theirs." Then orders came with smudge and streak, They might have said "You die this week." But we smiled the smile of long lost Ballarat, Of Lithgow, of Kalgoorlie, and of Cooper's bloody Creek. And die we did, for reasons ill-known, A Lord-minister's pride, a general's belief, A poorly read sentence? A mother's son, Returns only in spirit, only to her, her spectral waif, Whose time was done.
