PART OF ME WILL REMAIN THERE

Ky-nam
burning
incense burning. Ky-Nam
… still

a part of me
walking the trails and ridges
the double… triple… canopy of Vietnam
or ridin’ ‘slick’… hoping
or dreaming that I have found you my friend,
… my lost brother
missing…
still missing after all these years.

Part of me searches Tay Ninh
climbs the Black Virgin
seeking ‘Doc Lap’ (freedom)
for you
and ‘Binh-thien-ha
(peace)

… Binh thien ha!
for me my Brother
……… still MIA.
