This is based on the Coventry Blitz. I was brought up in Coventry, hanging around in the old cathedral that got hit and the ruins do talk. My great nan had part of her face blown off opening her front door during the war and my great granddad who was a glazier and a ambulance driver at night put the stain glass windows in the cathedral that replaced the old one. He was reportedly sitting on his roof the night of the Blitz watching lol…i didnt want to base this on fact, I have read facts, but I dont see myself in a good position to do one based on facts so much, but rather done with my twist lol
Night time hawks
the drone like an unbearable stomach knot
clenched between the witness eye of the moon and hate
a twisted moonlight sonata rendition travelling along the beams
staring directly down at a smoke screen
as they begin rejecting bombs from their wretched wombs
cutting the air, bringing down the blade
exploding the placid breathing below
in a mosaic of stain glass shards
as the saints break with the tranquil breeze
faces disfigured in patterns of distress
incendiary blows of un-deciphered deception
in a seething wrecking ball of time
hypnotized by the raging flames
engulfing the screams to immense the seams
the marker of undiagnosed clarity
as the world rocks by in manic chaos
all angles rushing in, consuming the threat
stamping it out with the bleeding betrayal
as bodies swiftly turn to ash as the fires slowly begin to extinguish
upright and haunting between the worlds
the sirens are scaring the stillness where they linger
death, the haunted touch
the hand that rocked the land with his unsympathetic chorus of disciples
in a swarm of penetrating crosses, iron boiled pupils
intense the rush, misplaced the need
in the rumble, the ruins of everything that stood in intimacy
the eyes still wavering in a mirage of events
of hundreds that became the fallen, inside nowhere, eternally lost
the flashbacks they pierce the peace
of this city shadowed in history
they could take peoples jobs, familiarity, their alter
families of loved ones laid out into the mourning days
but time healed, mended in remembrance defined
and buildings grew back stronger in forgiveness
they could never break the soul, the hope
the unity of prayer
