Two thin tangled medals sway in the rearview mirror of your dirt-caked Jeep. Indented identification on polished silver surfaces clang together a constant reminder in your ears. I heard the anecdote once, landmines and folded flags. My eyes began to fall on hints of gray in cropped hair, flat-lined lips and shabby strapped boots. I want to reach out, tug at the laces. Watch as you untie.
