Bombs Chase Me<br />
to My Grave<br />
windScript<br />
Poisoned ground smeared on my skin.<br />
Mud thick with this murderer’s sin.<br />
I often imagine my clever demise.<br />
Sinister, romantic and filled with lies.<br />
Red roses lined up around my pine box.<br />
A fateful battle with deadly small pox.<br />
A strong hand on my delicate white face.<br />
Teary mourners layered in gentle black lace.<br />
There’s no one here to cry over me now,<br />
as blood seeps slowly over my brow.<br />
I shift my head to glance at my arm.<br />
I gag and retch back, dizzy with alarm.<br />
I pray to be taken from this earth.<br />
My perfect home is Satan’s hearth.<br />
Whose body is this? Torn and mangled,<br />
it can’t be my limbs, at these strange angles.<br />
A million others are dead at my side.<br />
Numbness hits me with a dysphoric tide.<br />
Darkness encloses me in his embrace.<br />
I leave the charred remains of this place.<br />
