[here is my dear friend Roger Sparks with a board he designed for GoRuck / Street Plant. I helped him tell his story in Warrior's Creed]
Skulls and Roses
(For Roger Sparks)
how does a man
trained in the art of war
and rescue
trade his M4
for what, a loaded tattoo gun
once causing, closing wounds
and closing eyes
in the field
for all, cemetery tears
skulls beneath roses
now he imbues the skin
skulls with roses
for the grieving
for the broken
to close the wounds within
