Upon the wind
Twitch of snout,
fear upon the wind.
Paw to Earth,
snarl toothy grin.
Consume to survive,
Destroy to thrive.
Nature relentless
hunger merciless
Bound to death
It feeds our breath
None can escape
This world’s fate

Erebus & Terror
Ice for ages stretching to horizon
anchored in the frozen plain
hunger of eons stalking the starboard
famished autophagia escape
wailing winds mask the howls
terror clutching at the bowels
arriving on the frigid wind
to feast upon those trapped within
a frost bound husk all that remains
the snow and sleet lay claim

Battle Road
16 miles to home
through the wood and over stone
These men have declared themselves free
No longer shall they bend the knee
Forget King and country
it would be best if you just flee
Bleeding dying lobster backs
Crimson stained deerskin caps
terrified as you run
dodging volleys of musket gun
the will of tyrants is no more
affirmed by our blackpowder’s roar

Girty Giggled
Tethered to an arbor
pummeled by fist and club
ears amputated by barbarous blows
blackpowder musket burns
sub epidermal flames
Silent no screams
veil of of maroon and soot
flaming cudgel pressed to flesh
beseeched to kill
and Girty only giggled

Kenton’s Run
Enduring impacts of a thousand blows,
from every cranial orifice blood flows.
Staggering, stepping on soles of broken flesh,
his constitutions most brutal test.
Running the gauntlet, surviving the gauntlet, respect of the gauntlet.
Warclubs make no apologies to bone,
pelted with briar and thrown stone.
Standing unbroken at the end,
dignity unable to be rend.
Running the gauntlet, surviving the gauntlet, respect of the gauntlet.

Spearfinger
Boulder shrouded in flies
She is a master of lies
stalking out in the wilds
hidden in granite piles
a piercing touch upon the breast
the killing blow no life left
beware along the worn trail
death awaits when yr guard fails
hunting as rock and fear
devouring you is spearfinger

To climb, to conquer, to know
10,000 miles stepped upon the mountain
winding through the emerald thicket
a beam of light shall harken
the approach to the highest summit
bloodied footprints trace the dirt and stone
striving to conquer what lay ahead
bearing limbs worn to the bone
determined to journey where so few tread
Tearing through the razor bramble
the adventures goal is at hand
to stand atop that pinnacle
and gaze across the civilized lands
