Blood spills on stones and dirt -
precious blood on the altar cloth,
the sacrifice on the tablecloth of earth -
soldiers trying to escape from
snipers and mortars on the hills
above the road to where they
thought they would probably die -
crying - praying -
hoping that this
war and all wars would end right now.
