Colorless, gray, foggy world
Flattened,
stagnated,
Sharpened only by conflict
Battle, war, enemy,
kill
...Joy
Sun shines cold
Blinding
Flares on the
sword
(like the screams,
That final glory)
Twined twisted
twins of steel
Circling each other
Hunter circling
prey
Meaning is only found on the blade's edge
Laughter
Shapes, voices, gray on gray
"…enemy"
the mask whispers
No – enemy implied threat
"Sheep" the
mask laughs
Black blood splashes across gray tabards
White
skin, steel blades
Black black black and wet and still
Silver
triangles stained torn tattered still
Baahhhhhhhh. Sheep. Not even
worth waking up
Flash of movement, tang of surprise
Hands,
warm hands grasping the mask
Flash of light
Screaming a name,
pulling, prying, praying
Enemy!
Sword sings swings dances
deadly grace
Goodnight kiss, warm hand, lovely enemy, break in the
routine...!
Stop.
Splash.
Brilliant crimson,
warmth on his face.
Mask silent shattered still in her
hands.
Glowing triangle...
Her
hands
Her.
Hands.
Color.
Warmth.
What...red
...All...red
...Her...red...
...Goddesses...!
