Thanksgiving

By Jack Reilly

A day there Avas when the sky wept Infinite horror and disgust. But could not bear to be seen, Bodies of men still quivering And so it froze its tears From the shock of far-flung death; And let them gently fall on heedless earth. Shattered forms of children. A hush fell upon my little world The harvest of sky-sown devastation; And dwelt within and encompassed me. The pocked and pitted land with its stubble Even the log was still—vanquished by its age-old foe Of jagged trees and crumbling walls; Aiid content merely to spread its warming glow Kivers running red to the sea. In an ever-narrowong circle of dull-red light. Huge arteries of betrayed youth; A drowsy murmuring from all the lips of man Windswept flame lighting the sky. Slowed and slowed its endless pace The funeral pyre of humanity; And lulled and lulled to sleep ... to sleep. All these were seared on my brain By the relentless brand of my eyes. There was only sound at first from a wall of mist, Sound and stench and sight Sound that crushed and tore and pierced my head, Quickened their awful crescendo of horror. A monster with a thousand voices roaring in the night. I could stand no more, so sought relief Then a change in tempo and pitch In that eternal cry, And from the roar there came "Have mercy, 0 Lord, have mercy!" Shrieks and screams of agony And horrible, bestial moans Grating and scraping my heart. The log still glowed, the sky still wept. Curses of men gone mad with hate. And my little world was still at peace. Whimpering of things no longer men, I shuddered once, then softly breathed, Eacking coughs and sobs "Thank You, Lord, for all these. Throbbed and beat on my brain For days of sun and wind and clouds, With never the hope of an end. For nights of stars and frost and space, For all that is good in the heart of man, Then there arose a nauseating stench For all these and life, too, thank You, Lord." Of foul earth and stagnant water. And now the murmuring starts anew. The decay of everything since the beginning of time. And peace wraps me in its warm shroud— Suddenly the shroud of mist lifted But I'll resist as long as I can, And revealed to eyes I could not close For I'm afraid to sleep again.
