Garbage
I see the arm
under the door of the Humvee
the fingers still grasp and grab for things never known
I see the rest of her
across the street

The Death of the Ball Turret Gunner by Randall Jarrell
From my mother's sleep I fell into the State, And I hunched in its belly till my wet fur froze. Six miles from earth, loosed from the dream of life, I woke to black flak and the nightmare fighters. When I died they washed me out of the turret with a hose.
