Dust and Blood

Dust and blood
In my lungs
Distant flood
Brings me news

New debris
From old towns
Mirthless sea
Drowning hound

   

River's banks
Find new bounds
Gods' missed thanks
Altar bare

Strange men haunt
Ancient ways
Piercing taunt
End of days

   

Once face hopes
One computes
Both elope
With fancies

Violcence spake
Order felt
Naught will take
On the veldt

   

Dust and blood
Whirlwind speaks
Face of God
