CHINOOK

with its rotivation of air

this big thing hangs, a violation

threatening the eye of a storm

in its punctuation .

Hearts beat rotorwise.

It takes blood stock and uniform, pride

to places no decent man should go

and always, yet never alone in the immediate place.

The drum explodes, nothing is expected

that can be tasted nor heard

but a song of the vanquished, the refrain absurd.

Did you read the report from a few years back which said there's more Chinooks in Odiham than in Helmand?

Enjoying your work.
