  6. Eulogy • It happens on a Monday, at 11:20 A.M., • as tower guards eat sandwiches • and seagulls drift by on the Tigris River. • Prisoners tilt their heads to the west • though burlap sacks and duct tape blind them. • The sound reverberates down concertina coils • the way piano wire thrums when given slack. • And it happens like this, on a blue day of sun, • when Private Miller pulls the trigger • to take brass and fire into his mouth: • the sound lifts the birds up off the water, • a mongoose pauses under the orange trees, • and nothing can stop it now, no matter what • blur of motion surrounds him, no matter what voices • crackle over the radio in static confusion, • because if only for this moment the earth is stilled, • and Private Miller has found what low hush there is • down in the eucalyptus shade, there by the river. • PFC B. Miller • (1980-March 22, 2004)
