Words and Images from the BATTLEFIELD series The Merciless One Erin Thomas Lay bare witness ahead of this thread In hurt and foregathered minefields Of tiniest men and forest resistance in the grazed and play of shared beat Impossible obstruction, these sayers of sooth These monsters of truth, these men of means and artifice Stippled naked and fought with might But a simple compound fracture, to repair In the darkest of dark nights Grown amongst insubstantial muds and suffocating bleach water And still, she rose. Above Below And beneath the luminous sun. Grit fairness awaken this head Outside the girth and weathered wheels Of largess woman and poorest existence In the pain and joy of scarred wheat Impassable construction, those layers of loot Those beasts of cooth, those women of sacrifice Clothed in your means and drawn tight But for a single faction, to compare To the locust of rights Glows against the substantial rutts and muffled cool ice And still, she has risen Above Below And beneath the perilous son. Fit awareness has shaken the bed Inside the hearth of feathered heels Of uncanny glen and the coarsest stance And the gain and coy of furthest heat Unstoppable liquidation became a hoot These meats of vermouth, those fibers of rice Bound by your seems and pulled tight Mounted by fractions, and styled hair And the focus of might Rows forth these financial mutts, with stifled lice And Still, He has risen Above Below And beneath The voluminous Gun Glib stares awkwards the web Internal bounds of tethered steels Even in then... the hoarsest chance Will wain and stall the torrid street Whelped introduction plucked the shoot And again, says the sooth, that shire of mice Found by the stream and mired might Anointed by actions and frazzled scare And the bogus of flight Tows North with specialized sluts rifled twice And Still, It has risen Above Below And beneath The Merciless One excerpt from BATTLEFIELD a word and visual exploration series from Erin Thomas |
