Analysis of a warrior and a poet
blades clashed....flashed orange in a dying sun
the warrior pivoted...sprang...jacknifed through the air
on the fly...hot steel lancing through the eye of his foe...he came out of the dive
shoulder first... rolling, rolling....crushed flowers releasing their scent...he came to rest
