Poetry: Bury me

by Lamia Black

My blood runs upon the sand of troy.

My friend with arrow through foot lies like a mangled toy.

With my last drop of life I listen, listen to the sound of the ocean,

But it is covered by screams.

Some may say that I am scared of meeting the boatman,

But will welcome him.

And soon I will take my place among the gods.

My body collected, my body burned,

But soon the sands will bury me.
