We walk through the fields
the fields of Gettysburg
are under our feet
and our souls feel the life beneath.
What pressure is there
in these graves
of men; or boys, long dead.
We feel their presence
in soul, in head,
in our eyes so wet.
We can still touch them
and they can touch us yet.
Printed in Amateur Writers Journal, July/August 1988
