"reddend" poems
A wish like a whiff
The assertion of bone
A face like a cliff
Hollowed out, cut from stone
Cheeks reddend by rust
Eyes dampened by rain
As the layers of dust
Settle, hide the world's' pain
A wish like a whiff
The assertion of bone
Sing Sorrow a riff
You might feel less alone

Launched into orbit, like a spire of doom.
Like Shakespeare riding a nuclear broom.
Hark, what mushroom cloud through yonder window breaks.
Living in holes and dining on snakes.
People with ash instead of skin, and yellow eyes of fever within.
A face not pale but reddend hue, and languish on harrolds that already knew.
Spat in dust of sulphur and bones, cry havoc and gnash those wiser tones.
Pear shaped emotions and sliding our course, a people of covenant with the pale ridden horse.
Stomping in dirt that once was our mothers, laid to rest with our sisters and brothers.
Our fathers are gone, they pilot the spears, an impact of horror that bled through our ears.
With the push of a button the skies were alight, death tolls the damnable night.
Launched into orbit like a spire of doom, like Shakespeare riding a nuclear broom.

i like to watch the eagles on the mountain top
as the sun begins to set behind the mountain drop
casting sillouttes in the reddened sky
such a lovely setting to watch the eagles fly.
flying wild and free in the sky above
just to watch the eagles is something that i love.
flying all around when the day is done
beneath a reddend sky in the setting sun.
