BAGHDAD, Jan. 6 (Xinhua) -- Two U.S. soldiers were killed in separate bomb attacks in Iraq this weekend, the U.S. military said on Sunday.

Grass Bush

Pile the bodies high in Austerlitz and Waterloo Iraq
Shovel them under and let me work--
I am the grass; bush; I cover all.

And pile them high in Gettyburg Baghdad
And pile them high in Ypres and Vedum Mossoul and Al Fallaujah

Two years, ten years, and passengers ask the conductor:
What place is this?

I am the grass bush.
Let me work.
