Today
I found out
I am
A father
My wife
Wrote to tell me
Drake Corinth
Is healthy
And alive
I also
Have been called
On patrol duty
I ride through
Torn streets and slums
Craters in the road
I hear the pop
Of an AK
And an IED explodes
Engulfs the MRAP
I see
My life
Pass by
The walls
So bright White
I watch the Major
Cut my arm
Blood spills everywhere
I feel life leaving
Eyes shut
All that is left is…
A folded flag
Thor Valkyrie
