this maroon water
of payback for fear –
my one-blooded manuscript:
heated red sun
cools roaring
time cast as steel
wallless meaningless world
because on my shoulders
open skies
minted with unshakable words:
bloody trail
of sirens of eternal memory
of God’s name
on my lips
because once my weapons
were by prayers
