The bodies have been thrown,
face down,
in the dusty, amber mud.
Their boneless chests
and pale, pearl bellies
hang
like dying vines
over silent hills–
with
arms outstretched
in praise of a master
both dead
and alive
in the heartless sky

Wow! Red hills and redheads, prostrate to a higher power.
She always uses redheads in her work. She makes them seem otherworldly, I think. Thanks for commenting.
I always like redheads! Very otherworldly. Maybe that’s why I write fairy tales. 🙂
