On the Ambulance

Robert Redfield, Jr.

“… THE UPPER stretcher on the left-hand side,

I mean. Something felt queer behind my back.

Here, take my pocket light.”

“You needn’t stop.

I’ll look…. He’s dead.”

“I thought so. I shan’t stop.

Dawn must be nearly here—the star-shells bloom

More palely on the sky. He must have died

Just now….”

“I never saw so many stars.”
