Replying to a comment on:
No Aegis (Free verse) by wilco
We couldnât see the forest
so we cut down all the trees
and increased line of sight
into the cemetery seas.
As everyone was watching,
standing there upon the shore
the gulls perched on the corpses
left becoming such a bore.
And simple lives there flaming,
caryatids smoking shell
while the souls of honest men inherit
fathersâ forlorn wail.
Closer now, the precipice
to home and all held dear.
Someone hail the foreman
âcos there be devils here.
