with care

As you traverse the shards

Scattered across

The battlefield.

Tip

toe

with care

And paint crimson footprints

Among the mines

He places there.

Tip

toe

with them

Warm in your arms, asleep,

With tiny feet

Spotless and pink

Tip

toe

for him

As his mortar shells rain.

Each step taken,

You bleed for peace.

The death rattle

of your bumbling thoughtlessness.

A stolen breath

from your waning self-confidence.

Naked and bare,

your frozen headstone etched in time.

White brittle layers

of the mind, overlapping.

Cut deep, and you'll cry.

White, summer orchids

sit moldy and decaying

in an empty vase.

"No more," she cried.

He moaned, "But I want you."

"Please. Stop."

"I love you."

Grounded by these chains

Darkness bleeds sickening sweet

Drink the rage he says

Flushed with a poison

Thick fuel dripping down the veins

Freedom's combustion

Speed toward the stars

Before gravity awakes

Don't look down, don't breath

The guage hits empty

Sputtering just out of reach

Crippled rocketship

Drink the rage he said

Monster's blood shattered all hope

Broken on the ground

Adam, the first man.

Did he have a bellybutton?

And don't forget Eve!
