Breathe
To become blooming flowers
amongst the river of red.
I entrench, as do the other flowers
and draw the nutrients we crave
through our bloody roots we siphon dismay.
We'll draw from the same riverbed
we'll bloom prettier still
and we'll die all the same.

Damn Euan! This was suffocating ink,
... asphyxiated by so few words. Xo
I sensed hope and death were allies. Enjoyed!

Euan (AscensionES), luv :-* ~
This poem made me think of passages of I've read where fields of battle were so soaked in blood from both sides that for years following, it was said things grew wildly fertilized abundantly from such macabre source.
I am glad you survived. I am sorry many have not. Your words feel both battle hymn and requiem... Well done.
