Ky Nam Dreaming
(long ago) |
 |
|
I shall never forget the Tu Do lights
... and Cho Lon nights.
Hot and humid Vietnam,
and memories of firefights.
(Ky Nam incense burning) Binh Thien Ha!
Spooky!
... the Puff!
The dragon...
slaying ricepaddies in the dark of night
with tracers falling all around.
Helos humpin'
... fearful
and always watchin'
for what is never seen.
(Ky Nam incense burning) Binh Thien Ha!
War
is touching the face
of a deadman,
... and remembering him.
War is a loneliness
that keeps us all
together... once again.
(Ky Nam incense... burning) Binh Thien Ha!
War and remembrance
... a dear old friend.
Brothers 'til the end.
Binh Thien Ha! |
