Veteran
Paul has left one leg
in the dusty road of Falluza
improvised explosive device
they said
when he walked his patrol
April of 2004, deserted road
toothless sculls of houses
with no curtains
merciless sunshine entered
from each direction
conflagrating the internal void
of hovel and warring man
Paul limbs step by step
never got used to crutches
defense contractors annual earnings
report: shares soared to new heights
