| Notes | This poem describes the interior of a soldier's pocket, which contains a child's tooth, and a disturbing image of a decapitated head. On the back of this image are kisses. No context is given to this poem, but it could refer to the disturbing spoils of war and the disrespect shown to those killed. |
