Relief (Ventilation Shaft rewrite) (Free verse) by cyan9
The wicked glared at the glowing drops of steel
That dripped from the scarred charred anvil.
Beads of tempered steel streaked through rimose veins
Into crevice like crimson forks of lightning in the rain.
Stepping back into the wardrobe to retreat from the storm,
The wicked steel beings raped the weakling fawn.
Exercising demons brought a rush to their iron brains,
A relief to those who struggled through each day.
Entangled in a fantasy world where each could go bezerk,
Sodomising talking animals as they lay there in the dirt.
Void of responsibility that let hearts fly free,
Released to do their dark little things in a world,
A world that does not cause us any misery.
Lying in the snow beneath oak and willow
While frost crawled over their burning hearts,
Lying to themselves and lying to their brothers,
Advising people on the problems of each other.
Beauty poured down all day
And they missed it as they played,
Wishing for something real
The alloyed creatures got back to their evil.
