Anzac Day (my soldier)

 

 

De guerre
Digger,
Digger
De guerre.
 
My grandfather fought in France
was wounded, was wounded,
his name on a plaque
beneath a tree in the Avenue
of Honour at Wendouree,
(my soldier).
My great uncle
fought alongside
him and died,
(my soldier):
Was buried in France.
Grandfather left
his mother,
two sisters
to fight with
his brother,
(my soldier).
The awful flu
it took
his mother,
one sister.
 
De guerre
Digger,
Digger
De guerre.
Digger
De guerre,
De guerre
Digger.
 
A little plaque’s
beneath a tree
for ‘nother soldier; killed
in Gallipoli.
My soldier,
my soldier.
Angelic muse,
my soldier.
