Blood
Let, spilled, spent,
gathered at the rim of the slick sheath,
dried, flaked, famed, unnamed,
resting on the nape of the embattled hill,
running before triumph,
trickling behind failure,
trapped in the cherry's violent red,
sword thirst, virgin squirm,
"Take ye and drink of this, all of you," He said.
