Hollowed Sky

It is crying

stained draught 

red grass

Iron blades 

cutting

infant green

I'm starving

for guilt 

and shame.

[Alice Reiht]

"Hollowed Sky" is a stark and hauntingly evocative piece, my friend, painting a picture of a barren, war-torn world where life is a mere shadow of its former self. The crying sky, stained with the essence of destruction, sets a bleak and powerful backdrop for the poem's somber theme. The imagery of iron blades cutting into the youthful green grass is a poignant metaphor for the ravages of war and loss of innocence.

The confession of starvation for guilt and shame is a profound insight into the psyche of someone who has witnessed or endured great pain. It suggests a longing for a time when emotions were felt deeply, perhaps as a way to feel alive amidst the desolate landscape.
