"Green young Marines red sunset scenes / The catfish-fry and Semper Fi"

Transcendental Sonnet #1381: MCAS Yuma for Heartshope Kandaroo The smoke trees and the mesquite trees And all the land was only sand My manzanita memories The Arizona of my dreams Was paradise or so it seems Across these California years I know it now I understand That there was hardly anywhere But looking through something like tears All I remember is the good Chretin's tamales refried beans Quartz saguaros petrified wood Green young Marines red sunset scenes The catfish-fry and Semper Fi +Steven Curtis Lance Copyright MMV

Except for me... it was 29 Palms, California (Marine Corps Air Ground Combat Station); and, yes, the 'green young Marines' describes us when we first arrived, fresh from "boot camp." More accurately, we were stark white, but then, after a year and a half in the Mojave Dessert sun, our skin had a nice tone. Thank you for this memory. -- Jeff
