Marlon Brando in “Apocalypse Now.”

With Blind Eyes in Death’s Kingdom

Shadows.
Sweat-beads.
Salami, cats.

With darkness
Acting as a prop —
Truly:

“The horror …
& moral terror
are your friends.”

Inoculated arms,
Cut-off, like
Bad branches.

“Perfect.
Genuine.
Complete.”

“The strength —
The strength
To do that.”

Shadows
On my hands
Turn to blood;

Wagner
& bullets, bang
In the background.
