Tuesday poem #628 : Sean Howard : Poems (lifted from the Manchester Guardian, October 6, 1913)

 

ALBANIANS DRIVEN OUT OF SERVIA
Forty Executions – Including a Boy

ARTILLERY IN AN AEROPLANE
Target Practice in France

SPECTATOR CARRIED OFF BY A BALLOON

*

Modern war, driven stakes… Man & boy, the porous b-
order? (Skim reading: from on high, territory as
map.) Safe below? The suddenly inflating
spectacles…
