May 2013
Wickering destruction thundering from the summit
First a death rain then deafening sound.
                                                    Rumble­ and boom.
                                                    Cordite­ flowers bloom and twinkle in
                                                    The srarless night.
Whistle me home my friend though my face unseen.
Lock and load my friend .
Then whistle me swiftly home.

                                                     Mother stands in the doorway worlds apart. She ponders the sudden chill.

                                                      FIR­E. Pull the lanyard wire and whistle me home.away.

Soaring. Sireen.screaming thunder
True and deadly.
Ground zero stands the hero.

Drop the sight
Gunny,crank her down.
Lock and load Gunny
Fire and whistle me home.
For the veterans all who served and the ones who paid any price
In conflict.
