when he came home

when he returned home from
the war
he was different.
the long hair
shorn.
the shoulder's squared,
the arms muscled.
but there was
something wrong.
there was this stare,
this awful gaze into
a world
you'd never known.
he tried to talk about it,
but couldn't.
he never came around much
after that.
he was gone.
