Bestial Battleground
December 10, 2012
A fierce grace lines the ranks of the battlegrounds,
Lurking like a shadow, hollow,
sunken beauty tethers the bodies,
piled high, they stain the horizon,
streaking the impending skyline
blanching a frightened generation
As the piercing cracks of gunfire
Litter the air.
A sharp metallic taste, a
figure in the gloom,
shot down, a game piece, a gamble
murderous beauty lurking in the slayer’s eyes,
damp tears, smudge his wary face.
