Found Poem ( Lord of the Flies). Hana, Tomo, Clark, Vincent, Sally

Illustrated Faces

A bath of heat, a vision of red and yellow
Danced and trembled against the faces
Of dark and concealed figures
Only blurred sunlight, stripes of colour leapt into visibility.
They passed like shadows under the darkness
With the silence of the forest, amid the shadows of beasts.

Towards the lagoon, among the creepers and broken trunks
Along the shore they carried themselves.
Darkness was a place of scar
Hearts shaking, violence approaching and noises squeaking
But they had no fear
Life was visible among them
They delightfully laughed and fiercely continued on their hunt.

Bushes crashed ahead
Tusks gleaming, shouting boys.
Clouds opened to let down rain
The desire to squeeze and hurt was over-mastering
hesitating, blood was staining the sand.

Pale skin reddens under the burn of the slanted sun,
Sweat and grime, calluses and raw skin,
Bodies craving the taste of meat and the comfort of a home,
Order and structure lost to the chaos of desperation
Alone, lost, fearful, and yet so free
