I would like to face the dust.
I won't see their uniforms.

Burning maws
of broken cities,
metal rotors
spun and crushed,
bombed-out tanks
that scar the waste,
midnight battles
tinted green.

I would like to face the dust.
I won't see these colors in the mirror.

Stella was a diver and she was always down.

I close my eyes and there in the shadows I see your light
You come to me out of my dreams
Across the night

Yeah, me too, Mike...I was thinking the
same as Sue...that you were putting
yourself in the soldier's mind. Right?

Hugs,
Ethel
