| Paratext Text | Civilians move to shelter in UN bunkers |
| Notes | The speaker of the poem describes a tank attack which causes civilians (Lebanese, most likely) to take shelter in a UN bunker. The attacking tank is described as a violent, almost mythical, beast, 'a metal monster', akin to a dragon. |
