Since the weight of it
Is no different to memory
There is a lambent sense
Of being back in school

That determined
Young veteran on the GI Bill
Marching his way
Through college courses
To a new though not surely
Braver world

With autumn leaves
Drifting down
On gilded roofs
Where tomorrow
Would be certainly
Better than before

Especially though
Now invisible

He still can feel
Near where medals used to be
A letter from his girl

History well said in a poem. and unsaid romance so very condensed in the end.
