Enemy Lines

Wars, why do we thrist it? Bullets, skeleton hearts, and dirt's decaying mouth hush your slave sleeps chains around zero. Lover is dead the cupid shot her in the head. One foot on the earth another spirit leaves. Unknown judgement. False religion. Masks torn from the hummingbird's wing reflecting flight. A flight of guns’ flaking nozzles, of spring aching with winter and summer's disease.
