An Average Day

The water 
The spring 
The sparrow that sings 
The grass 
The field 
The cotton 
The chains 
The whips 
The whoops 
The ache 
The bones 
The blood 
Oh heavenly father 
The blood 
The feet 
The guns 
The street 
The wounds 
The woods 
The hounds 
The men 
That they seek 
Scatter they flee 
Once they run 
Twice they shoot 
Three are down 
Four cheer 
Five grieve
