SALTWATER CEMETARY After thunderous explosions, sailors scream out in pain. Thoughts scramble, ricochet, prisms in the brain. Bodies in canvas, wrapped tight as can be, Weighted, ready for their slide into the cold, dark sea. Survivors salute, suppress emotions of confusion. Catastrophe at present, temporarily in conclusion. -Ed Johann

SALTWATER CEMETARY

After thunderous explosions, sailors scream out in pain.

Thoughts scramble, ricochet, prisms in the brain.

Bodies in canvas, wrapped tight as can be,

Weighted, ready for their slide into the cold, dark sea.

Survivors salute, suppress emotions of confusion.

Catastrophe at present, temporarily in conclusion.

-Ed Johann
