So you lost your innocence     in a darkened cemetery in Fallujah, do you go looking for it      on a grassy, sun-drenched hilltop in Arlington just because the light is better?  No, not you.      You return to that dark place and break every marker, leave no stone unturned, disinter all  ghosts tossing them to the wind and shout           "Want more?".  Marching upright/quick-step/head high      back home to Bethesda to find your peace. r ~ 15Feb14
