Cannon fire echoes in my unconscious.

44 years removed

Fire mission

Elevation , 2410 mils, Deflection 3235 mils.

Battery Fire

Ground shaking Boom, and a cloud of gray smoke.

Add five zero, right one hundred.

coordinates 4132 7765

Guns ready, battery fire.

Boom.

Fire for effect

Boom Boom Boom Boom

I'm used to it now.

The ground stopped shaking.

The echoes remain.

that there are others out there who may be thinking or feeling what I'm going through or have gone through makes it a lot easier to deal with and to move on from it. Unfortunately, Vietnam left too much inside of me. So I write, and write, and write.
