I remember one Veteran’s Day
the stillness, the tears
the overwhelming consequence
in the rain, in that place

Ten years after
the scar cut into the land
the men coming home
to this hallowed ground

Tears of strong men
who answered their countries
falling in the rain in this place
on this holy ground


November 11, 2010

and remembering being

at the Vietnam Memorial
during the 10th anniversary
Veteran’s Day 1992
