Have you deserted an army whose need for your martyrdom was dire? How can you live with yourself today? Maybe, you have never been a soldier before, or you fought and stood your ground. Have you ever been running away? From yourself?

I’m running naked as the sky

am I not better off living, a father
or would I have better been a martyr
