Poem

When I came home
I understood
that nothing could be the same

I’d never perceive
the world like you
after the horrors--- that I'd seen 

I can hear
the roaring thunder 
bombs--- exploding on the deck

phoenix 
sparrow
sidewinder rockets 
scaring more--- than just the ship

the sound of friendly fire
burping out random death
aTomcats Gatling gun---
spews bullets across the deck

acidic smoke
from burning bodies
the smell--- of human flesh

blown out chest
severed limbs
trialed through--- entangled organs 
and decapitated bodies
who's eyes no longer see

for the lingering dead
neither friend or foe
I vomit out--- sanity

for night gives birth
to mental demons
my days--- are haunted memories

they shipped me home
but I’m just a token
not the man I used to be
