Forgotten

 Everybody has secrets

Everybody has dreams

The dogs are combing the soil

Whatever this is comes to light

Breaks the glass

Arrows down range

Cannot stop now

Jump. Scream. Dance. Throw up.

Nothing works except for the wind

That you cannot control just like that arrow

Futile exercise, empty words, worthless life

Question is, what now?

I dream of answers, and youth, and viability.

From Saigon I hear echoes of your abbreviated childhood.

Fire and tears then silence and more silence.

It's more than all mixed up

It's finished, interrupted, devastated.
