PAPER PURSUIT

 

There had been no snow to tell of

during that year's nightmarish war,

but in the midst of all the combat

Winter Moon still rose high as hell

to freeze the broad battlefield with 

its almighty white and so blinding

glare like God had chosen to slow

time for the moment and show us

the portrait of our concious coma

where the bullets were then bound

to badly butcher. Instead they just

hung in front our frightened faces.

As the portrait commenced again

to turn because the clock yearned

and bounced us back into motion

with a great clicking ticking doom

we were witness to our own death

becoming the part of the very next

generation of peace and leisure

and reprieve from Golden Arrow,

a history that shook our marrow.

Brilliantly structured and

Brilliantly structured and detonated with your rare and charismatic talent . . . it absolutely took my breath away. First, you set the stage for a war-torn winter with shattering eloquence and unforgettable phrases, then you drove home your message with the most innovative strategy: 

 

" . . . like God had chosen to slow

time for the moment and show us

the portrait of our concious coma

where the bullets were then bound

to badly butcher."

 

Amazing. And then, "the portrait commenced" and with it war's blind and absolute rage:

 

"with a great clicking ticking doom

we were witness to our own death"

 

A truly remarkable work of art.
