field maneuvers
i dream of foxholes
with bullets whizzing overhead
i am dressed in camo
but carry no gun
alone in a field full of the dead
i maneuver for my life
more than cautious
because i want to live
it's not that i don't know
if i survive this will happen again
my entire existence
has been one maneuver after another
peppered with small victories
brief spans during which
i can stand throw off the camo
and shout here i am!
every time i undress
to reveal the vulnerability
that lies under that grim but necessary
standard-issue uniform
my feathers are a bit more tattered
my lace more begrimed
my skin once so satiny pocked
with the ink of the losses of living
i dream of the day
i can shed forever the vesture
protecting what gifts i still own
no matter how ragtag surely
there will still be remnants
of beauty worth revealing
surely there will be someone
who can appreciate what remains
