SHELL SHOCK
In Eastern Oregon are there
concentration camps?
I've never been there--
in a concentration camp, I mean.
Where you're alive only as long
as you think you are
and your mind prowls around
its own razor wire.
Lately, I've dreamed of living
in a small town of mocking laughter
where it rains ashes and I'm afraid.
Afraid of what I might do or become.
