Blood Metal

through the heat river
blood metal waking
blade spear forest
walks

pelt smell drifting
close dry grass
white teeth waiting
dust bush thorn

my brothers
watch as dead trees

in the lost valley of night
in the dry grass
heat river ripples
dead trees waiting

spear blade forest
whispers to the moon
moon cold sleeping
in the dry grass

spear blade forest
rests in bush thorn
fire eyes shining
in the dry grass

blood metal drifting
in the dead air
in the heat river
towards fire eyes

blood metal flowing
in the heat river
through the dead trees
over dry grass

blood metal burning
in the fire eyes
through the white teeth
over bush thorn
my brothers
