Glorious Fourth

Stuart A. Chasmar

No surfboards there.
Struggled wading.
Polluted beachead.
Body parts and
Backpacks floating.
Kwajalein memories
Ricochets, rockets
Coral and tracers
Red gore glare
Medic! Medic!
Heads without faces.
Saipan
Memories
One more beach
One more mountain
One more cave
One less finger
One less friend
Iwo Jima
Memories
