Flowers Smell Like Guns (2024)


Flowers Smell Like Guns - drawing by Harvey Dog 2025-03-23 for the poem: "Flowers Smell Like Guns".

sad saints crawl on concrete
looking for cigarette butts,
a dream obsolete, a past distorted…

change the dialogue (dialogue is changed)
sever meaning (whose meaning?)

bullet hole walls penetrate isolation,
a dusty environment
destroys clear vision,
napalm clouds hover…

a child screams like an explosion
and the flowers smell like guns.
