Rain On Battlefield

Hold out your hands to skies

At this late hour feel the sullen strength

The magic of this clear space spiraling

Upward looking down to your open eyes

Stabbing your open eyes with ages of force

Feeling your bones with spider fingers of air

Shaping around your skin with finesse

With a whispered melody of belonging



Hold out your hands to skies

Become that tan sundial at this late hour

Find a relief from the ground you stand upon

Ground crazed by blood under sky under sword

This clear space smiles upward

Open eyes ages of force can never close

Hello Matthew. I was just enjoying your poem. Mostly I just wanted to say hello. I got a kick out of this other critque though. I think empty barrels make the most noise. Be cool. Keep on rocking. James
