Who were we…from there on?

A poem

Dawid Planeta

In its eyes, we rested
avenged were the night and our fallen knights. Oblivious to our own violence we called monsters monsters but ourselves by our names.

Avenged our souls, if judgment is to come. But we denied hierarchy and put snakes back on her head. We placed swords on departing men, and waved to the growing weeds.

So big it was, it made a shadow out of the land, it kneeled, and we were free to go.

Pink lakes, desert, and jade drops. Who were we…from there on?
