A Poem I Wrote - Cut and Cover

Cut and Cover


The ground torn up

the mass graves dug

Faces stare plagued

eyes twitching like candles

The bodies on trial

rabid acidic tongues

Ruled guilty before

the envelopes opened

Shovels grip the dust

mixed with blood and cement

A farewell gift

prior to punishment

The tombstones are set

in our imaginations

To soon be run over

by the next purges.
