Excellence Award in the 'Write As Rain 2014' competition

I see their face
But I cannot touch
I hold their hand
But it's just the wind
The only thing that I can see
Is a poppy,
But it melts in my hand
I see the men in puddles
Of mud and blood
I hear the gunshots
Now I'm in the grave.
I sink into the mud
I'm with the dead
And a long way from home.
