Excerpt from the poem "Wilderness of Pain":

                The Americans methodically burned, piece-by-piece, northeast Cambodia to the ground.  
                Down came the flames in a burst of thunder, first exploding onto the earth, then climbing
                its way to the top of the jungle, the black smoke billowing up to the sky, serving as a
                testament to the inferno below.  The gasoline-soaked napalm roared through the green
                albatross, spreading the fiery holocaust like a disease, killing the vegetative underworld
                in a plague of devouring heat and flame.
