In this geometry of a dream
I’m back where the sun,
a monstrous orb
pours savage light
through rockweed.
Starlings like gray halos
circle then arrow
into mangroves.
Across Zone D
drowned children float –
like creosoted planks
from a detonated pier.
“I am Jehovah’s boy,” I cry
but maybe now,
I’ll be next.
Round every tug and snap of bamboo
along each smoking mile
maybe now,
tamps against my psyche.
From the hills,
a black Chinook
slashes sky.
We wait till twilight leans
upon gun metal;
ready to breach the VC hut
as a nerve inside each man whispers,
maybe now.

A fascinating discussion is worth comment. I think that you ought to write more on this subject matter, it may not be a taboo subject but generally people
don’t speak about such issues. To the next!
Cheers!!
