“Inch by
Inch”

3/15/18
Blackness
moving seemingly not
closer and
closer quiet within sound
neither
a whisper of grass/soil
breath
kept beyond silent
only the
slither known to one
two as
if one in thought now
each
with their mission felt
lightless
the night then bright
search
lights penetrating
inch by
inch with movement
buried
in the earth closer
cutting
wire so carefully
one
strand caught anchored
next and
next till five in total
timing
the guards lights
planting
the explosives
first
one then ten total
within
the compound fully
still
blending quietly slowly
knowing
the layout minutely
service
dog and soldier
still as
one in the darkness
till all
hell breaks loose
command
given mortars
guard
houses falling
explosions
going off
opening
compound doors
cells
quickly opened
back the
way they came
brothers
and sisters as one
no
longer inch by inch
through
the fences breeched
into the
night away and free
none
missed none injured
the
compound no longer
helos
lifting off and away
blackness
moving seemingly not
farther
and farther quiet within sound
