    THE ALIEN
(APRIL – 30)

                                         from wikipedia, fair use
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
