The Desperado Boys

 country as flag
Went far away
and mostly alone

in a place called

long ago

when questions
had no answers

and color faded
and died

in a hot land

far from memories

...where faces

remain.

Faces lit
by flares
and courage.

One
and the same,

Faces,

in
and beyond
time!

Faces!

My Brothers faces!
