Blood On The Moon
www.facebook.com/WRRPoetry [Blood On The Moon]

The river
Overflows

Not with water
From yesterday’s rain

But with blood
Innocent blood

There is blood
Everywhere

Here, there
And everywhere

Driplets, droplets
Rivulets, streamlets

In learning places
In sacred spaces

In the hearth
On the homestead

By the sidewalks
In the dancing arena

The streets have become
Runnels of blood

As the river
Overflows

Not with water
From yesterday’s rain

But with blood
Innocent blood….

(dedicated to the 43 school children sacrificed in a macabre festival of terror).
