In Their Glory

Fiddling around with a poem today. Not quite sure where it might be going. Here's what I've got so far.

I see the wolves of winter
in their glory,
wearing coats of blood.
As black eyes flame to blue,
they bare the teeth that
bring justice to the night.


I see the feral horses of hell.
I hear the saber rattle
of iron hooves on stone.
Their eyes roil with desire
to sow their foes destruction
and reap them of life.

For some reason, I can't think of anything else but my own aging when reading this.

Interesting images of destruction on the horizon, or do the wolves and horses fight it out?

Charles Gramlich said...

X. Dell, that's rather sad, my friend.

Sage, I think that is exactly where it is headed
