Jab down at the close air
With cemented force,
Ruthless and leaved,
Threaten to pierce <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Through thorned gaps
\nThe gray sky hangs,
\nHeavy and weary
\nWith knowledge of the day,
\nSights that wrap and

Witnessed horrors
\nOoze and slither
\nThrough the fields,
\nWeighted with memory,
\nBlackberry blood and

\nSpots the landscape,
\nSenses the paths but can’t
\nEscape the maze
\nLined with barbs
\nSharp and rusted<\/p>\n\n\n\n
