On the Torch of Hell
The forest fire, ripped, now rages to
the looming torch of Hell, to the grieving
fields clad in white that now dance to
the rolling Poppies. The pale horses, in terror, break
into a heinous gallop. The cannibals advancing,
a dozen barrels of mead gulped and yet
the pale rider couldn’t be smitten back. Jack Heeder is a hobbyist writer, usually infatuated with literature and music. #fire #grieving #terror #mead #smitten
