"Alive After Death"
By Neville Johnson
This band of brothers and bleak war-ridden soil gave birth to something new.
There was no need to conceal my ambivalence with uncertain assertions
The old life perished among my tribe
and it gave meaning when nothing else could.
Yet, echoes of the Valley remained on my wrinkled face.
