In the tall grass
Under a starless sky
I inch forward
Between heart stopping sweeps
Of an outpost searchlight
Under a starless sky
I inch forward
Between heart stopping sweeps
Of an outpost searchlight
Darkness
A few inches more
Stillness
An explosion of light
Darkness
Hours of stealth
A hundred yards
Twenty-five more to go
Charges and detonators
Preset in my pack
A few inches more
Stillness
An explosion of light
In the light
The grass tickles my cheek
Or is it wheat?
Or is it rye?
Darkness
A few inches more
Stillness
An explosion of light
The searchlight stops
Focussed on me
In a few seconds more
Darkness will come again
Finally
It is rye
An explosion of darkness
18K in the Darkness
