that's a big bad sky
up there i thought
as fiery white swords
clash and clatter.
long lines of virgin
heat slice the world
with wicked forked
flashes of cordite.
as blue catches
silver fire,
i hear sirens wail
in the snarling sky.
from the edge
of the world,
a million grey horses
come puffing in.
pounding cumulus
hooves, the fire force
arrives with sloshing
chariots full of water.

An exceptional piece of extended metaphor. I was swept up by this super-terrestrial battle.
