Stray Fire – Vietnam, 1968

His eyes are jelly holes
The sheep his wool is fire
Toppling up the slope
Toward the wire.

No
Says the sheep’s master.
He can only follow her.
The sheep goes faster.

In the wire they all rolled,
Held, holding, all defiled.
The poor girl, she foaled.
My cradle. Oh my child.
