Don't Try to teach a pig to sing. It doesn't work, and it annoys the pig.


Perfect.

From the smallest grain of wood

to the last luminous dust mote

caught in the glory

of the dying sun









Skies brushed with

every shade of red

breeze setting leaves

in motion-

swishing, swaying

blissfully ignorant

of the crimson specks

dotting their glossy skin



Wildflowers.

Their sweet scent,

Mild, addictive, evanescent

mingling gently

with the stinging stench

of salt and rust.



Fresh, but very faint

The taint of gore remains.

Somewhere years after,

There will still be

bloodstains.
