    Shedding Sacred Skins

          Blooded early,     alone,     but it's a cinch:     just peeling skin on spattered rock to a pooling cry     gleaning god & grief with sharpened ease     fated late to survive (then thrive) with nowhere to hide...     a tear-filled alkahest  taking liminal shade 'neath a cool palisade     always teaching death with a bug-eyed splat or chipping a cough from...

    • It sounds like that life is taking enjoyment from the pain until you shed of the outer layer and reveling the truest form of you which is joy.
      That is what I am getting from this piece. I could be wrong.

    • Beautifully penned, Ben. Amazing flow, this ain’t your first rodeo my friend. Spectacular write. Appreciate you.

    Always

      Always If my heart were to suddenly become the sum of stone I would want your names chiseled over the surface to forever have a place In the forever element of this poetic face Drifting the rifts of time and space Wherever it is we go when we go I would take you with me always in all ways ***Cipher Poems ***

    • The sacrifice palpable, the suffering unimaginable. It’s significant that people see war as this thing that just “happens”, not considering all the coordination, planning and propaganda that goes into it. They don’t accidently happen….never mind that it makes NO sense that humanity would be MORE warlike with the progression of time, but it certainly appears as if there is more war now than ever before in known history….and that’s a LOTTA planning & coordination! And propaganda (to “prop the agenda”)

      Great tribute for D Day, EZ Joe. Good to see you again. I appreciate their sacrifice.

    • I agree 100%. “…it makes NO sense that humanity would be MORE warlike with the progression of time, but it certainly appears as if there is more war now than ever before in known history….and that’s a LOTTA planning & coordination! And propaganda (to “prop the agenda”

      Good to hear from you again.

    • “Death is death.”
      “Peace is strangled at birth.”

      The whole piece moved me. War is gruesome and no one wins. We must remember all of those who served, fought and lost their lives in the pursuit of peace. Funny how fighting is the way to find peace.
      Those two lines just stuck with me. Very good peace.

      • Heroic things are done in every war. Men rise up to give beyond the common measure of courage. But war never brings lasting peace. There has been no war to end all war. There’s just a continual slough through hell. Thanks for reading and sharing your thoughts. 🌼
