Louis was my dearest friend, fighting in the Anzac trench.
Louis ran forward from the line, I never saw him again.
Later in the dark, I thought I heard Louis' voice,
calling for his mother, then me, but I couldn't get to him.
He's still up on that hill, 20 years on that hill,
nothing more than a pile of bones, but I think of him still.
If I was asked, I'd tell, the colour of the earth that day,
it was dull and browny -red, the colour of blood I'd say.
