Tanks in exclamation
The excess blood in their words.
Bew haha
A crash ion the clouds
The methods of her touch
The merriment of youthful chases.
Wishful woes
Rapid roads leathered in their hair.
Sunken planes
Ledges of sun in the layered smoke
Putzing in his yellow raincoat.
Pins & needles
The scattered battle lines
Calling cards
The broken blush
Handwritten bashings on the wall.
Bloodied breeze
A stream of sange in the sapphire.
Rose to tragedy
The valley between people.
The debonair of a sunless highway
Fight or flight
Broken light
In honor of the young
The pink corollas tattooed to their guns.
it’s not a dream child.
The movements of a nightmare
Called them by the roadside
There’s no distractions at the bottom of a river.
