Relices of Violence

In a dream I feast on frozen fields. With the campfire fiend at the tree line, a place to sleep in the dirt below the frost line The brazen and the bold dive between the arrows of a coward’s bullet Cold steel from a hot barrel, seeks warm flesh to make a statement. Bones rattle in anger as they lay upon the ground. Relics of Violence, A mosaic street made of bullet casing and blood soaked bandages, A rich tapestry, But a haunting canvas. Sounds of horror lose there meaning when children’s tears only water next years crop.
