GHOULISH NIGHTMARES
They, the bravest, never speak of the horrors of war
Except interior to themselves in ghoulish nightmares
The fireworks on the Fourth of July especially awful
Battlefield memories exploding deep in their minds
Life a continuing reliving of the terrific horrors of war
The slight smile of their child reverting to a memory
Of explosives affixed to a child exploding in a market
The crash of two cars colliding in a automobile accident
Regressing into the sounds of mortar shells exploding
Life a continuing minefield of emotional experiences.
