Bent Seed

~Silence that dank isolation cold and wandering dog restless lurks a slow and sullen trod through mad emptiness drunken nooks of unreachable sorrow soften ~The assault fettered leeward dissolve concreate and mortar strewn the bent and barren seed of brutish man mind molded media mad blood screen lust swiping portraits of war the cancerous toll doom induced carnal scroll ~And in this, woeful glows deeper haunting flows and beats its lingering light to a deeper shade of death god damnable

Hi Mat, I am back for another read of this gem. I neglected to mention that the alliteration of the line, "mind molded media mad" is truly outstanding. Be well + enjoy the spring. Brian

Words of hard edged accuracy: "the bent and barren seed of brutish man." Superb writing, Mat, reflective of our war weary world. A challenging posting that rewards in multiple readings. Best wishes, Brian

I can understand somewhat what it takes to get to that point- and I pray I never bend God to such a point. You, too- but I appreciate the honesty and raw verse here. Wishing you light out of the way.
