Down Town
Bright light
Intense heat
Dripping sweat
Monotonous
Smiling children
Hands Outstretched
Man on bike
No more smiling
People gone
Even hotter
Raging thirst
Headache
Helicopter
Reassurance
Eyes pealed
Look to my corporal
Hand in air
Stop
Scan road
Kneeling down
Aching body
Move again
Stop again
Move again
Hotter than Hell
Sweaty hands
Heavy armour
Sore eyes
Need a drink
Stop again
Kneel down
Op Barmer
Vulnerable Point
Banging head
Even Hotter
Move again
Smiling children
Blazing sun
All clear
Raging thirst
Nearly back
Apprehension
Switch on
Stay alert
Helicopter
Children laughing
Nearly there
Through the gate
Legs like jelly
Relief
Thumbs up
Geordie smiles
Safe
FOB
Time to sleep
Home.
