The best answer for this question would be:
The author’s wordings in the excerpt describe how his
experience was during the Vietnam war, he was young but was afraid to face
reality that his fellow comrades were dying in front of him. He describes how
in stories people can be able to twist what had happened to them, on the other

I am not sure which poem you are referring to here, but one poetical technique is called enjambment. This occurs when a line continues to the next line without a pause. Even if there is a stanza break in between, the lines are meant to be read continuously. For example, consider these lines from a poem by William Wordsworth called Beauteous Evening:
"The holy time is quiet as a Nun
Breathless with adoration; the broad sun
Is sinking down in its tranquility"
Here, Wordsworth is not intending that you pause after you read "Nun" or "sun." He wants you to read these lines as a continuous sentence or thought. Hope this helps.
