The monstrosity brigade

Torshavn

the capital of the Faroes

a great view

of the  .  slaughter

and how it does begin

to imagine

standing close to monsters

cold callers of the past

willing to walk into the sea

with onlookers aghast

flailing blades

meet  Wondrous flesh

See tearful eyes

grab bloody wounds

to save their young

mothers and fathers

appealing high

screaming their  songs

into the sky

a sacred pod  wasted fast

bloodied and shaking

blast after blast

bloodied hearts

and lovely souls

cut to pieces

gaping holes

heads away

a frenzy we

witness on the  bluest sea

fast changing to a crimson mess

where even sea birds fail to bless

the carnage

a warrior neither one

just the monster breed

when the day is done

and in their guts

blood and slaw

hearts and minds

pure soul and gore.

60 beautiful Pilot Whales

torn to ribbons.
