Anti-Iraq 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) Two literary techniques used : Imagery, and
