In Darkness by Andrew J. Belet
a hot wind
smell of grease
stink of sweat
breastplate heavy
roaring through valleys
so majestic in daylight sun
ominously splayed out an open door
no feelings
put away in a box
forgotten unwanted and frozen
a damp air
taste of copper
cool to the touch
selector switch
and what then awaits
an eternity of nightmares
