He Assesses This, A Work Of War

Rating: 4.8


Planches of starlight, creases of fear
Worry the lost, teach the year

Formula lost, year to year
Misfitting barbs,

cage of stars,

a flowery rage,
against the turning song,

Thank you! I try to keep looking for new sources of inspiration. War isn't one of my usual themes, but madness IS.
