Death at Wind River_Mary Oliver
In their dreams the bullets shine red as roses in their grandmothers' cheeks the horses gallop again over the children, the young men can't kill fast enough. In their dreams they sleep with the moon But mostly they drag their heels in the dust, they pour whisky down their throats, they sharpen their knives on nothing but stones. They have raged drunk over their old grandmothers. They have stumbled on the ghosts of the children. After that, all their nerves click like frozen leaves. They walk out over the branches of hopelessness. They think of this world welcoming the bodies of their sons.
