Tunnel Rat
September 28, 2009
There was a door
In the jungle floor
Danny came up from the back
Taking off his radio pack
Dropping into the hole
His eyes burned like coals
Sarge handed Danny a pistol
And I prayed for his soul
Crawling through the earthen veins
Underneath the typhoon rain
Danny shot at sounds
And traveled further underground
He searched for trip wire
In the muddy dirt mire
Sometimes swimming underwater
Gone away to fight for the father
I never saw Danny again
It’s a story I do not tell,
My grandchildren
