This piece appeared in my collection "Alien Shudder" (Inkpot Press) as well as the 1999 Forty Winks Press war-themed anthology "Zones" (ISBN: 095335752X). It reflects the genre (horror/SF) themes that flavoured much of my early work.
CHEMICAL WARFARE
Not people we are;
we're like chemicals.
I take them
and the face
and heart.
I feel one of,
like-shaped
in the world;
it was meant for us
and I can taste it.
