Swarms of grainy images infest eyes
with pestilence (unveiled slits
squint tears, shift winds)
streaming rows of curiously-
bent crescent lines drawn in
sand, slash-blasted dust back to dust –
those entrenched
supplicants (ditched, cut
between posed/framed
jubilant weaponry jabs, brutal flicks,
slaughtered in sects) plague her
dreams and submit
their plea for peace silently.
Rolling beheaded behests buzz
beyond j'hive talk — dread-shattered
views of wretched still-shots display
distorted, captives' blazing agony,
weeping; furtively she saves
savage scenes virtually bereft,
personally bereaved.
4th + edit now ready (or not) for prime-time. Hope you like the title.
