Please I need help, is there a poetry device where the reader expects something more positive, after the poet states something harsh, but a even harsher thing is stated?

#

“Men freeze and hunger. No one is given leave
On either side, except the dead, and wounded”

#

That’s what I’m referring to

potent mantle
#

I don’t think there is, but if you want I can look for one

static pawn
#

it's a clever use of sentence structure, but I can't think of a name for it

#

it's sorta like the reverse of an anti-climax, but even an 'anti-climax' isn't that technical
