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, looked from its 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.
