THE PILOTS OF SALAMANDER

The Pilots of Salamander

                                      Sixty five days I lived my life
                           Duty called and all the knives that followed,
                      A dirty Salamander trilogy became its only tragedy
                                    Amongst the feathers of its flight.
                                        Tobruk you say, I say not
                                      Farrimond would say too hot
                                        Jeddah is the place to be
                                        To lose ones own insanity.
                       No, my choice is Salamander and its cities three
                    All I needed nestled there, chirping out their ignomy.
                                      Empty eyes and empty tongue
                                    Compact days and nights so long
                                  Breathe in delight and out your hate
                                     Let no-one enter the other gate
                         Give volume to your breach and never pander
                               To the demonic slaves of Salamander.
