"dawn" by Ross Balcom, Frequent Contributor


dawn
Ross Balcom

the dawn
racked

its bones
breaking

begs
for mercy

its cries
unheard

by the
blank-eyed

mutants
who walk

the hills
the forests

of stone


Poet's Notes: The dawn, normally a symbol of hope, becomes a symbol of hopelessness and horror in this poem of the post-apocalypse.
