Blood On The Plains

A freezing fog
Shrouding in uncaring greyness
The verdant trees
Became glistening claws of ice

The silent prarie
Gathered at the edge of night
Piercing the flesh
Pain as sacrament

Violet tresses submerged
Beneath a veil of frost

A lull in the air silences the drawing bow
Coiling, appeasing fury
before the monstrous daughter of earth

Thunder of mighty hooves
Cleaves the earth in two
Scalps of your enemies
Blood on the plains
Sweet as wine

Wild goddesses split the sky
Seeking vengeance for murder
Breaker of horses
In a sacred navel of soil
