IV

Sleeping in dust, acid and chains

Sits a Locust, in ashes he drained

The orator left no mercy and drowned

From ashes to ashes they all fell down

The beggar and piper still remained 

Pretentious sinners and benevolent believers

Sent various splinters for them to deliver

These sacred blisters sent the hellhound to sever

Every conquering man spellbound and whom slither

A waking breath had shaken by the acre

The halcyon winds silenced the dead

Birds and crown-less kings spiraled thy head

Harmonies and art in forms of concussions 

Painting words with blood until they were lesions

Remember what the beggar and the piper said

Down by the river and oe'r the valleys

Sunset of amber and rain is barely

Remembering what was left of the maid

Disentering was her body from the grave

The two pipers heard and played as an army

The wind stopped blowing and the moon collapsed

The birds were silent and the roosters gasped

The night sky is dead and the levee ran dry 

Leaving the earth on a thread to cry

When the clouds stitched red and the sky drained

All that was left were skeleton remains

Ashes to ashes the sky fell down

Oe'r thy heads of the fish whom drowned

The sea was created by the maid and reign

[Coyote Poetry]

"Down by the river and oe'r the valleys
Sunset of amber and rain is barely
Remembering what was left of the maid
Disentering was her body from the grave
The two pipers heard and played as an army"
The above lines were my favorite. So many good visions create by your words. I like the honest and directness in your poetry and thoughts. The hardness of scene create by your powerful description bring to life each situation and place. No weakness in the outstanding poetry.
