Where the Heroes Ran/When All the Prophets Died

Where sullen skies shed shells,
the old men cursed
heroes clothed in blood that
ran like salty Koolaid in ancient streets.

When every creed was vengeance,
all gods turned snarling faces to
the gaunt and silent children; then
prophets saw their visions proved; and - smiling-
died.
