Left at the Wall – v2

Pieces, shards

broken fragments

of your story

their stories

of their lives

without you

so many young men

so many women alone

comrades with guilt,

nightmares of that place

so far away

from all we know

so alien

in the jungle

in Vietnam

things we bring

to you, to them

left at the Wall

not where they lay
