Steaming towel against skin,
Cold shinny metal choking my finger
Salt streams rushing down the fall
The portal to home.
Where the ocean meets the sky,
and the wind whistles.
Selfless souls laying lives on the line
Unprepared for what awaits us
Chaos sweeps us off our feet
A cold bottle to loosen a nerve or two.
Demanding results and mostly good results.
The useless ordained the worst fate,
a life alone; being your best friend.
The horrors of oblivion swamped in tears.
Vehement loathing for my grotesque deformities.
Staying clear of the shadows, dusk always finds me.
The rotten odor chokes and suffocates.
Guns, hounds and a desire for stew.
Familiars watch from a distance.
Wounded and surrounded, the blood trial betrays;
and these small feet are all l am.
Blue flames sprout from a spark.
A toast to the cook!
Wood clothed in cold shinning silver.
White or red?
Stuffing the darkened, deepest pits ever.
