Smoky Mirror

Mud cakes the boots. Leaves stain the clothes.
Nameless nights paint pits beneath the eyes.
Sucks on a bent cigarette
Leans on the rifle
Blinks
Through the smoke
And mist of weariness
Sees once more, a child,
Face buried in a book
Eyes, heart burning
No heed paying
To the sea
Of strangers
And the concrete jungle...
You who are looking back, never forget where you came from.

A song I have sung myself.
In another life, we might have shared a bent pack, and traveled the assault sea, together.
