a foreboding photograph startles to memory our war's beginning.. this named entanglement darkened and dampened the frivolity the expected brevity of our war with ourselves.. a blood soaked becoming of machinery and death..
the foreground a cannon on wheels replicated in the distance and we assume again and again.. these engines of conflict dominate a distant 'tho insistent background.. the sun's fiery reflection on an expectant treeline.. coupled with sky turbulent and echoing the cannon's forthright entrance with purpose unmasked..
this our battle of separation for reunion a Manassas pattern oft repeated through all of these our rebirthing years.. flanking and horses surprise encircling a wall of stone.. agony and sorrow the fever of war.. all to reframe then to restate our collective.. sacred I Am...
Thanks to a friend Lucy B for her photograph, which appears at polarityinplay.blogspot.com...
