Flares climb into a monsoon rain
and float down through the canopy
they howl above the elephant grass
like white wolves on the prowl.

They claw the night back into green,
chew through the jungle shadows,
out beyond the claymores
and the coiled razor wire.

Yo Critical mass,

This is grimly well written.

Keep up the good work.

Very nice, CM.

Thanks for the reply.
Sometimes that fist in the gut gets me sensored. I am trying to tame this stuff down. But will try to make it interesting.

Your work packs plenty of punch, but you can send me the untamed stuff anytime.

Deeply personal write. Beauty and destruction came to life simultaneously.
Had family there, and I remember.
