Wraiths of Appalachia
Ghost town, coal town
bringer of Black Death
coughing up life
shift by shift, ton by ton
Ulster-Scots conjure
Clans and Reivers and
Argent Arms, ever searching
for a New World
Kinsman, wafer thin, inhabits
a dark and bloody ground
serving Unholy Communion
to Kain-tuck-ee
Piercing eyes
atop hollow cheeks
faintly echo a smile
from centuries past

Very clever and graphical write with a confident overlay of an almost medieval armoury description.
