History without rooms, buildings or battlefields.
Bodies vacant of death.
Life, thy woman,
thy green glowing girl,
hath no sight, hands, or limbs;
breathing -
moving and unmoving -

Walking a narrow hazardous world.

Soft shoulders shrugging fear.
Opening slightly,
eyes hold signs penned by ordinary humans.
Returning the senses to earth.
Take mine back to the place
