Analysis of Soldier In the Storm
Pamela Tennant 1960 (Littleton, Colorado)
That girl so beaten, was I.
Insulted, crushed, beyond broken ~
Oh, complicated midnights - absurdism
Cope, ask for nothing, retain trust in the Eternal
Azuline winds sweep in tomorrow
My auslaut comes, breathe.

About this poem
Author's Note: Auslaut (German origin) - definition: Final sound in a word or syllable : end position of a sound in a word or syllable. Also absurdism is the belief that human beings exist in a purposeless, chaotic universe and azuline is just a fancy way of describing a hue of blue !
