Space

In my delirium of battle I watched crimson rain fall and cyan streaks of plasma cut through the air.

The flash of fresh burnt copper vaporized and accelerated to speeds of light hangs in a haze over my view.

I find myself unable to act for a micro second, caught in hideous beauty of war within a vacuum.

To believe I could be the cause of so many flame wrecked out shells of the enemy battle engines.

 Agony shatters the stillness and I sense a crippling hit.

Screams erupting, electronic shrieks echoing.

Closing my eyes, I pray  but to no god that I may continue to do my duty.

 Hoping that they on the flanks are not mine, burning fresh.

As the sun snuffed out by smoke and death I hide within myself.

 

The reality here is a burden and I will not shoulder it.
