The Sodium Songs

Excrement drifting streets
pushed by
forty five degree winds.

And needle rain
from an icy syringe

The nameless are encouraged
by the godless.

A choking conflict
between desire and
reason.

Tattoos of youth.
Their journeys to glory
ignite the last time
in monochrome bedlam.

Sodium songs
illuminate blood
puddled fields.

Songs to chaperon
death knells and
poppy fields.
