catapulted
insurrection
blood and sand
driven far and deep
scraps for the birds
meltpoint
arduous trek
the generals approach
hazarding a guess
spearhead grazes flesh
the fountain spurts
an agony of days
a wild wood
no mans land
no men land
the creeping sickness
a pounding head heart
deterring invasion
completely hidden
cloaked by fog
notch by notch
hemmed in
held down
the men they…..
crimson eyed
much vaunted strength
hurt
staggering
nailed
interpenetrated
no chance
among us
all around
they strike
flames
gas
anything
ladders fall
crumpling mess
collapsing structure
narrowing of path
closing of the doors
exit vanish
air bright fear
hack hack
shoot
hit hit
hit
im hit
missing
im missing
im firing
im waiting
blip blip
sign sign
white hot cold
the mud
the hospitals
the sleeping
window snow grave
flowers tears
more snow
thorns
starving birds
rusty iron thing
sunspot
roll back further
no, even further
no air here
who?
who…..
no
