NIGHT FEAR

As I lie awake and listen
For choppers in the night
The heat and dust have merged with soul,
The climate and the body, one.
Thunder rolls from cloudless skies
To advance, retreat and advance again.
How close tonight, tomorrow night?
The numbing question "When?".
Through the bunker I call home
I see a bright star slowly fall
And hear the sound of a Dragon's voice...
Then silence after all.
