War Beauty MAG
February 10, 2018
the branches crackle
under a gentle boot
like bones shattering into
a million razor-sharp
pills.
the flowers bloom
crimson and violet
like bullets piercing
a jagged crumbling
statue.
the songbirds chirp
red white blue
like fireworks and bombs roar
in the pitch black sleeping
city.
