Poetry by Kenneth P. Gurney

CLOVER LEAF

With a finger pressed

in chiseled white letters,

Delphi rubs silence

from the stones lining Arlington,

washes once bellicose soldiers

with a old prayer recited,

hears the long roll of drums.

Her bare feet press the echo 

of church bells into the ground,

beyond the bent green grass

grown about the singular flower

of the old second corp.
