Subterranean Infiltrator - Nocturnus

Release me from the sky

onto marsh domains

Expose the parachute to Ease — the — vicious fall

Unseen by those below

Preying on their blindsights

shadows dance

About — the — jungle bog

Agent of espionage

Bearing north of the penisula

Invitatin to lay clear

Think — over — the strategy

Advance into forbidden marsh

scope all in the infrared

Create offensive

Resistance — from the — river banks

Searching,

stalking,

Entering the concealed passage

corridors extend beneath the surface

Manoeuvering through the

radar — beams — alarm reaction

Progression is slow under canister discharge

targets locked at the ends of the turns

Awaiting any enemy to approach — infrared — identification

Once inside the target’s range

seize the moment by squeezing the trigger

Single lead injection

intentions to wound — not to kill yet

Movement gives away strategic position

A regiment responds to the action

Trip wire set, suckered into the trap

They lay decapitated

Explosions

shrapnel

Metal
