work in progress: past lives

more to be added: a beginning

am i a lost soldier,
a fallen soldier
from WWII,
trying to find his way home?

europe beacons me,
with an eerie cry to return,
somewhere in europe.
Never seen europe
but it feels like home.
How long will I continue to roam?

Or am i a lost American soldier,
with pennies in his pocket,
my lucky penny
is gathering dust,
losing its copper shine.
My uniform's peppered with dirt
and my weapon's accumulating rust.
Did i lose my way,
stuck in europe,
amid the muddy field,
in a unmarked grave?
