Run Through the Field

“RUN THROUGH THE FIELD”


you must return after
death to survive another.
you will be placed on 
the dart board and 
they will shoot you with
everything that makes 
them hate themselves.
the midnight hour will
hold your tears of agony
as you ride through sound.
you must add to the show,
contribute your creations 
from the seeds of your life.
only then, will the eyes
play on the faces of ichor
strength.
placed before the council
you will fight.
placed before the council
you will decide in your hour
of abomination.
the gods pick no favorites.
there are ways out and like 
the field mouse, you too can 
escape the falcon of death. 
your life is your life. 
it isn’t for the taking 
and 
it never has been.
