Iridescent drops of blood

Gleaming like scattered beads

 

Upon a desert of virgin snow

Bear a mute testimony

 

To somebody’s twisted lust.

The terrible hungers

 

Of a famished land

Record in their throes

 

The birth of gun-toting messiahs

And a feeble pulse

 

Of a primeval storm that echoes

Gory tales of a divided hearth.
