(6/30) Everything Burns
The Prompt for Day 6: create an ekphrastic poem utilizing any image contained within Hieronymous Bosch’s painting, The Garden of Earthly Delights
Cities become
fiery dominoes
when peace is toppled;
everything burns…
bridges
skin
sky
hope.
Armies of men,
scorched earth sharpies
marking the land
with blood and soot;
war is a love language,
carnage is currency
and
ashes of fallen Valkyrie
rain down like quiet
charred snow.
