fly circles in endless sky
watching those below-cj holm

These murmuring souls
sacrificed to the dark god
of the pagan woodsForever silenced soldiers
-lost Tiberius’ phalanx-CJ Holm
From Chapter 73 of Tacitus’s Annals.
“Soon afterwards it was ascertained from deserters that nine hundred Romans had been cut to pieces in a wood called Baduhenna, after prolonging the fight to the next day, and that another body of four hundred, which had taken possession of the house of one Cruptorix, once a soldier in our pay, fearing betrayal, had perished by mutual slaughter.”
