Text Phantom Noise by Brian Turner

There is this ringing hum    this
bullet-borne language      ringing
shell-fall and static    this late-night
ringing
hiss and steam     this wing-beat
of rotors and tanks    broken
bodies ringing in steel     humming these
voices of dust     these years ringing
ringing these children their gravestones
their limbs gone missing
this eardrum    this rifled symphonic      this
ringing of midnight in gunpowder and oil     this
threading of bullets in muscle and bone     this ringing
hum     this ringing hum      this
ringing
