.THE OTHER SHOE TO FALL. In the video I saw last night thousands of men fought for possession of Jerusalem. They fall without a sound. One falls head first from a siege tower, burning, another gets an arrow in his the eye, both Muslim and giaour. At the battle of the Coral Sea they vanish in the hush of water or are blown apart, and in that midnight ambush in Vietnam, mute rain slides down jungle leaves like oil into a pool of blood. Such is the quiet after battles when we look up and see circling crows, like the silence that falls now as I walk to the store after a heavy snow.
