Descent Into Hell

markashley1961

Fog shadows and faded light 
The pale cloud remnant of familiar face 
Reflects grey shrouded flame and fire 
Bloodied red explosive destruction 
In a magnificent midnight bloom.

 

Upward glancing 
To melancholy moon 
A Languorous lament 
For this unexpected falling star.

 

Code words and call signs 
Misplaced in panic, 
As the iron bound lucifer 
drops from the sky 
Illumination exultant 
Slow motion settles 
into a delicate fountain 
Of ash and dust.
