Holstered at high noon Blistering with festered wounds First of many moons Fire raining down Tap a vein of blood in the ground Void of life and sound Shelter for relief Burn the place around my feet Respite that I seek Perish in my youth Yellow candles light the room Cultured yet uncouth Painted red the town Carnage glistens all around Gone and left to drown Woken by the cries A place I still recognize Dreams arrive to die Atone and bleed the sin An evil presence descends Quell the rage within I won't die in vain Nefarious and insane Poppies soothe the pain Worn upon our sleeves Phasing unpredictably Nature of the beast Tread lightly forward Origin of vile scourge Yet ventured onward Grains of salt and sand In reunion holding hands Flee this barren land

Vexed (Haiku)
Holstered at high noon Blistering with festered wounds First of many moons Fire raining down Tap a vein of blood in the ground Void of life and sound Shelter for relief Burn the place around my feet Respite that I seek Perish in my youth Yellow candles light the room Cultured yet uncouth Painted red the town Carnage glistens all around Gone and left to drown Woken by the cries A place I still recognize Dreams arrive to die Atone and bleed the sin An evil presence descends Quell the rage within I won't die in vain Nefarious and insane Poppies soothe the pain Worn upon our sleeves Phasing unpredictably Nature of the beast Tread lightly forward Origin of vile scourge Yet ventured onward Grains of salt and sand In reunion holding hands Flee this barren land
