World War III

Two of them, side by side
On the river bank Delta
Watching, full of wonder
As a corpse boiled the water
"Look," says one to the other
"He must have had a demon."
To which the other replied-
Most unfortunately-
Could not the water be the meaning?
Then, as the first man's face
Became wrought with fright
Man himself ceased to be
And again,
All became starless night.
