   From out of the Valley of Mizpah

Either spending each passing day in jail
Or enlisting and say goodbye and fairwell

The latter choice he did made
signed up and turned in his clothes of fade

What is the gift of life worth 
If sacrifice is forbidden

Surviving Ourselves
       by Odin Roark

Cruise our insides

Knowing no man’s land
Between heart and mind
Have always
Will always
Be pregnable...

It invades.

RECON

We push noisily through the brush
and then hear the challenging voices;
two grenades should pave our way
to make a charge while firing rifles.

Dusk preludes and we see the strobe
flashing of far too many muzzles;
Nguyen takes his...
