“Blood Fanatics”

(In analysis of the concept of war extending tribal times through our present age)

And who

(was)

This face

(emerging)

From a thirsty

Ash-black panel

Of shadows

(in)

To the

Iron teeth

Of the shade?

(emerged)

From the misty

(diamond)

Blue mouths

Of storms

(animals)

In lamb

Eyed wool

(pollute)

The guise

Of God

(these)

Embittered lies

(killing)

Young man blood

(sipping)

From war

Time pools

(the gristle)

Of our

Blood feeds

(the)

Hollow holes

Of the machine

(empty)

In electric space

(where)

The gentle

Human skin

(of)

Their souls

(used)

To sleep.
