Howie Good

Excerpted from “Fire & Sword”:

2 Fort Henry

General Grant stands knee-deep in blue grass.
There's a haze between him and the rest of the world.
You're right if you think you are, he tells his staff,
who entertain one another with shadow puppets
that otherwise reside in the crevices of nightmares.

4 Shiloh (Day 2)

In the sudden start,
first light lost its hat.

No one stopped
to pick it up,

the sun like a pond
turning red

from the blood
of the men killed

and wounded
around it.
