Day 74

prose fails

prose fails when

clouds mountains missiles
paper front pages
ice snow ruins
remote miles
politics lies massacres
borders closed to colour
birth not birth
birth death
not motherhood
no men no flowers
no children no walls
no roofs craters
death across
sunset and sunrise
a cover
on screams and sirens
sound off
digital
first lessons
last wisdoms
cruelty from empathy
transport east
history
crows murder
carrion luggage
collateral damage
ambition
collective nouns
fragments
words
punctuation
no end
no verbs
no sentences
no justice
meaningless
pictures
war pornography
