Lost Chapter -The Beauty
By Henry Coldnight
of the lost city:
a thousand ships,
launched, sunken;
dulled swords,
broken shields, and
pieces of bronze plates.
Petals of blood
leading the wind
into the ruins,
commencing the attack
over and over again.
Will they ever stop? No.
Why not?
Because it's beautiful to (just) watch.
Was it worth it?
Totally.
