of burning flesh

Walked mountains
and
Valley's
Hunting those who can't be seen.

Left the war
to
return
home- to it.

For I have found
the worst wounds
can't be seen.

Then sat upon my fav'rite bench with clothes still wet from dew.

Three long and lonely nights I'd camped there in the city park,
Though only slept spasmodic'ly, as somewhere from the dark

The beaches were littered with corpses

I come home after the second
of two extra-long days at work,
tired, put out, and a little sore
from the unaccustomed hours.

I want to complain about it,
to moan aloud and be pitied,
but I glance at the calendar
and the whine sours on my lips.

A bad day is clutching the ground
when movement means instant death

I can't give you back
lost dreams, or still the flow
of tears your mothers wept.

I can't give you back
the innocence
of deep sleep nights,
nor stop the flinch
that surfaces uncalled.

No words of mine
can make
the nightmares cease.

To pay the debt I owe,
I can but dedicate
my every deed,
that your sons and daughters
might raise their kids in peace.

I was weaned on the troubled
history of my land,
of battles fought and won.
And lost.
Valiant men fighting for the cause,
shown the hedge where
my great, great grandfather
learned his lessons when
educational facilities were banned.
Dined out on the feats of my forefathers,
stealing their glory,
until I met a man with a question:
