Now the wind blows.
She hoped for these first breaths
But we can feel them
We can whip them up into a storm if shelters are raised to protect the culpable
This breeze must become a hurricane of justice
Fear stalks their dreams now
#Mystified how they've been left exposed

Somber sunflower heads shrink from an unwelcoming sky
In the ice of flat land fields
Fossils from a distant time of soft sunlight and sweet scented summer
The black tears fall and wait for an #enchanted return
Erupting into a promised spring

With the #miniscule levels of government competence on display, it was a paradox
How could the education system of a rich and developed land have gone so wrong?
The levels of diversity allowed for a broad redundancy
And there we spotted it
Power was restricted to a hotbed of inbreeding

Embers lift and drift
Snap crackle fly
Flecks eaten
By the #dark of this night sky
Their light so bright
But just for moments
Then ash for all eternity

Twenty more years he'll get
#Bones and cartilage crunch
Each push a punch worth of bruises
Each false breath squeezed out
Past tongue and false teeth
And his panicked daughters thrash about
What a state
Twenty more years he'll get
To stand shirtless by his gate
Before he'll finally set sail

Ther's a ford 'cross a rolling stream
That takes you to a ruined home
Where rowan throws protective arms
Against those spirits whose unknown
Intentions manifest as noise
All scraping, knocking, chilling moans
That if you dare to spend the night
Will strip the colour from your #bones

His body in the morgue
Stone cold
He was gone
I walked out of the room and away
I needed to be on my own and not spoil it for the others
I sat in the main hospital reception and watched all the human #pain of the place pass by
No-one wants to be there
I didn't want to be there

The vampire disengages and backs away into the shadows
Done with what it needed
Got what it desired
Knows it's time has come to an end
It will be forgotten soon enough
And then
One night it will return
To drain the lifeblood from some other unsuspecting creature
Without remorse
Without #soul

Art can be for art's own sake
In a culture of consumption
It still exists even if not witnessed
As the tree crashes down
Trunk splitting undergrowth
Without a #soul to hear it
The fungi sense it
And will be discovered
Because it is there now
As is the written poem
Sat waiting for discovery
