Cigarette won't stay lit.....Wet
Rain.....its incessant pattering sound
Droplets bouncing from leaf to leaf.....canopy
Shroud..... Misty blanket hanging on my shoulders
Eyes heavy with fatigue.....stare
Quiet moments to reflect.....memories
Silence.....no thunder, no echoing gunfire
Soft breeze building.....Storm
Wind.....singing at the top of the trees
Out of ammo, gun's jammed.....fear
Waiting.....retreat to Baker camp
Dry beds under canvas ...... relax
Peace.....the generals have gone to sleep
