Carl Sandburg - Remembered WomenCarl Sandburg - Remembered Women
Work rating: Low


FOR a woman`s face remembered as a spot of quick light on the flat land of dark night, For this memory of one mouth and a forehead they go on in the gray rain and the mud, they go on among the boots and guns. The horizon ahead is a thousand fang flashes, it is a row of teeth that bite on the flanks of night, the horizon sings of a new kill and a big kill. The horizon behind is a wall of dark etched with a memory, fixed with a woman`s face-they fight on and on, boots in the mud and heads in the gray rain-for the women they hate and the women they love-for the women they left behind, they fight on.
