Gas and Air.

natureidentity

Gas and Air.

No matter the washing or

The wringing of hands

With eyes averted

To avoid the scene

Deny a truth

Blood stains.

Rinse out the bowl

Run fresh water freely

Crystal clear

From a mountain stream

To soak your sins

Blood stains.

Fly high the eagle

Watch it swoop

On the unwitting

Rabbit caught in

The limelight

Blood stains.

Throw out the rags

Wrap yourself in pure wool

Expensive clothing

Of your choice

You are still a wolf

Biting back is what you do

And blood stains.
