Battleworn

Battleworn

my hands stained red forever
dried and sticky streaks my forearms

my face and thighs bare the splatters
and scratches of a bloody long day

as i look upon the carnage ensued
and feel my weary bones

I despair, for tomorrow it will continue
in the orchard another cherrytree awaits
