Verdun You, a soldier, amidst the trenches, Buried like seed in the earth. They, a gardener, standing afar, Waiting with patience and calm. You, a soldier, barraged by poison, And bullets, And fragments, And blood. They, a gardener, entranced by beauty, And blossoms, And sproutlings, And mud. And all you are, all you are, all you are, is a flower of Verdun. Turn your face toward the sun bleach your bones for the gardener of Verdun. You, last soldier, amidst the carnage, Gasping, and grieving in groans, They, the Gardener, strolling closer, Reaches to reap the rows. You, last soldier, slipping further, And falling, And falling, And gone. They, the Gardener, reaching foward, And pulling, And pulling, And done. And all you are all you are all you are is a flower of Verdun. Turn your face toward the sun, marrow-white bones, for the Gardener of Verdun.

Plague Lullaby Death is a mother who misses her children. She is blind to all things. She does not see the year the season the hour the moment the beautiful sun the beautiful sun. All Death knows, all She feels, is her suffocating exsanguinating body crushing flesh rotting Love. It pours from her wretched heart like blood from the first born. And like all children, we dodge her loving, freezing, burning grasp, to fly through this world, reckless and feckless, never knowing, (never choosing to know), that our mother's skeletal hands are always just brushing the back of our necks. When she sings her sweet Lullaby into our ears, no matter where when who what we are - we listen. No smeared lamb's blood, no ash of posey, will keep us from her touch. Death is a mother who misses her children and we always listen to her Lullaby, because we are all the dutiful son.
