Barbed Wire Horizon

Wind caresses like approaching death last years wool trembling late on rusting wire above the wall little tortures of twisted fate Standing on the narrowing road I counted memories in my mind touched by blade of rains revenge not needed here, but there defined Blue-grey cloud sailed on more some reaching gently to touch the earth its fingers wrought to kiss the grass and rain from west and bitter north I finally turned on down the lane and buried my hands deeper still the darkening sky is shallow cover but devours the day for evening chill

Bleak... marvelous phrasing and images. '...little tortures of twisted fate,' '...touched by the blade of rain's revenge' and '...devours the day for evening chill.' Superb!! Best wishes, Keith
