One Bullet, Fifty Roses
An old song was sung
there had been 21 guns
but his lovely May never came.
His soul watched as his heart decayed.

Such a haunting feel...
The Civil War has such a unique energy...
It carries such an impact
impression on so many levels of the conscious and unconscious...
I think that the idea of death
is something that we keep... At arms length.
And the death of the young,
and the death of those close to us...
Is... A sort of awakening to
something like: morbid ponderings.
Or... A process of seeking
to understand...
What is this thing they are calling: Death.?.
There is so much latitude
in something that is so wrought with mystery...
But yes...
In the Civil War, we had both,
the young and those close to us... Die.
You very much captured
the elements of the morbid pondering of the poet...
In such a crisp, fresh,
and very unique way...
Truly reads like impressions from the
other side...
(Nice slant rhyme...)
Image just... Hauntingly cool.
