The Locust Eaters
They came
in thousands,
tens,
hundreds
and more,
and pressed
their metal teeth
against freedom,
against voices
lost
in the empty wind,
forgotten prayers,
and once-open doors,
for as their wings
pressed against
each other
in conquest,
invasion
and hate,
children
ran from their eyes
of media,
confusion,
anger,
and tore chunks
of books,
bibles,
and political statements
and slowly
chopped up
opinions,
and reasons,
the duress
of history,
and tore out
each other’s hearts
and ate
