THE ALIEN
(APRIL – 30)
In the barren land
Where silence is
chiseled
Into poison
Each grain of time
Is spent in
Brewing bloodshed
You begin
An explorer’s life
there
As a plowman?
Seeding Love?
No wonder
The Betrayal cost
only
Thirty pieces of
silver

ReplyDeleteOh, so well done!
ReplyDeleteStrong imagery and my favorite is the same as Kerry's.
ReplyDeleteWOW! Subtle ... and when it hits, awe! No wonder!
ReplyDeleteTo make a mark in the alien land.........very brave.
ReplyDeleteThis could be a parable....and the ending smacks with the firm hand of reality
ReplyDeleteAs with Kerry and Hannah, that's my favorite line. Well-crafted and quite the twist at the end. Thanks for participating in the prompt ~ M
