27 Days of Poetry - Day X



Twenty-nine Men
by Tim Reed

Grey snow smothers a dying earth
twenty-nine men walking
gnarled, black spectres on the ground
twenty-nine men walking

A blood-red moon dangles precariously from its perch
twenty-nine men walking
seemingly bent on sinister intent
twenty-nine men walking

weapons cling to their sides in the grey of twilight
twenty-nine men walking
the maleficent nebulous forms confuse me
twenty-nine men walking

 suddenly a light removes my confusion
twenty-nine pines resting
roots for motion, needles for weapons
twenty-nine pines resting

...but are they?
