drizzlin’
dead-ass weary
to the bone

jungle rot
and fever
took the kid

but his soul
found the leg
they lost
in country

firebirds
freefallin’
flat spin
missile locked

five & dime
shepherds
watching over
their flocks
by night

potbellied pigs
find a morning angel

red dwarf star
glows grace

incoming LZ
smokes
green mercy

no healings here
among the bloodless
faces

reckless wise men
escape prophesy

on Christmas whiskey
and roast pork

half-burned napalm
bonfiring
exotic driftwood

washed ashore
on China Beach



"Who knows if to live is to be dead, and to be dead, to live? And we really, it may be, are dead; in fact I once heard sages say that we are now dead, and the body is our tomb...Socrates

So sad!  Even sadder, because it is true!
