A scene of battle, lost
Bodies strewn, melted-ruined,
Carpet bombed by napalm-ice.
*
Faded black, some corpses
Already rotting, stand post
Beside the live but-dying;
The garden is somber
(A mini necropolis)
At four a.m., flood-lit
By an incandescent sun.

Ah, you breathe life into the dying - excellent.

Happiness isn't something that happens to you, it's created from within you. Joy is a state of mind.

A "mini necropolis" wow! You described this event so well .... (I am sorry for all those creatures, but let me say that I have no sympathy for the mosquito and when the temperature falls I finally have some peace ...).
Love, Margherita
