Drive-By Shooting {4 of 5}

Caterpillar, A War Cry 

{4 of 5}

Drive-By Shooting

    photos of

    big, beautiful homes -

    some draped in vines and

    poking out from

    blossoming magnolias

    {givers and takers},
    sucking nutrients -

    beautiful as they are in our eyes.

    Some shiny and new with a matching Volvo,

    “Safest car on the road,”

    their signs sometimes say;

    protectors of life

    {for those inside},
    sucking nutrients -

    beautiful in the eye of the beholder.

It all makes sense -

    they’d kill themselves

    {more than they already are}

    if they saw the

    killer in the mirror.
    If they saw past their own smile...

A smile, still.

     ...

     ...breathe in = kill.

A battle cry
     ...
     ...against you and I.

Her song

    makes my heart

    sing along 
    through the

    speakers made from

    oil-soaked birds and

    little fingers,

    hidden behind

    locked doors and

    thick forests and

    endless deserts

    in the most

    picturesque countries

    I will one day fly to 
    {while they still exist} and

    capture on camera...
