Crushing Baby With Rib Cage

December in war

Inspired by a story by Joan Barril, "December in war"


If you close your eyes, flying

the way that leads to the center

and breathe deeply, Sea

desire dreams sprout

sleeping awake waiting.

the background, on the hill, a flashing light in flashes citing

lost souls condemned irons.

Her fingers point to the door of the creed,

who knows no kings, servants,

that you wrote when words

lost accents.

embrace not fear, let

battles, blood, duels, buried

steel,

sit down together by the fire,

deny the gods who build walls, dividing

heaven

that paint colors that you and I do not see.

Sit by the fire together, close our eyes

flying

path that leads to the center.
