Dreadful corpses
Cease breath and flesh
No miracles today
Just anger
Perplexed
Dead bones
People pass all day
And wander
Day 13 prompt from Toads and a news flash of strike on Syria ten minutes ago

dVerse prompt erasure poem of Late Ripeness by Czeslaw Milosz and rebelling against a poetry teacher who said not to use the “ing” words
Peloton
French platoon
Pack of riders
Save energy riding close
Near
Behind
Dramatic
The peloton travels
As birds flying in formation
Slip off
Rejoin
Manoeuvre
Develop fluid center
