The Foggy Fields of Time

 country as flag
Memory
digs a ditch
with tears like a river

overflowing
in the foggy fields of time.

We see them
laughing

standing

... and always
beside us.

Our Brothers in arms

one by one.

Young faces
standing watch at midnight
as we
lay restless against the night
... crying out!

The 2 AM dying
in a firefight
... gone
gone

... gone.

Then it all goes away
and the wind blows my mind

somewhere in memory
lost

in the foggy fields

of time.
