Daylight fades…darkness
hushed stillness
impatiently waiting
weapons ready
raging adrenaline flows
overtaxed souls.
Suitably trained
Rangers!
America’s cream
plotting…planning
certain death,
jungle warfare.
Dense timberland
concealment, cover
sweltering heat
eon-moments
tremulous thoughts
hover death angel.
Enter mosquitoes…
One hundred thousand strong
antagonists
malaria-armed-wings
mount the attack
warriors mutely wait
Steadfast…the kill-zone.
