New Feet 
[By Carl Sandburg, from Shenandoah in the collection Cornhuskers]

Empty battlefields keep their phantoms.
Grass crawls over old gun wheels
And a nodding Canada thistle flings a purple
Into Summer's southwest wind,
Wrapping a root in the rust of a bayonet,
Reaching a blossom in the rust of shrapnel.
