Leather laced.
Metal plate.
Sun down to sun up.
Glance and live.
Wink and die.
Battlecries form and
sink between lenses,
leash and dice held firm
while the links have to go.
No time to mourn
while the blessings let,
eventually they'll learn
six deep under stone.
Leather laced metal plate
and honed,
blade synchronized to
flesh and bone.
