Tearful sky

One foot in the grave
one eye in the cosmos
one hemisphere in the
whole of chaos
the other down
the rabbit hole

Torn between
selfless nature
this pair bonding way
stiched with
blackened red
twine weaved
aggressive
tournament
species

Peaceful gardening
top soil covering
hardened clay
layered colorful
sands of this
colosseum

Moistened by
echoing waves
blooded cheers
twisted thumbs

Silent genes wait to
express unknown
rarities
timebomb realities 
buried in this
breathtaking
minefield

under the ever
warming glow
so beautiful
tearful sky

This poem has some very tearful moments to it; it reminds me of war.... "one foot in the rabbit hole" and the thought of much chaos going on somewhere it is not pleasant to be....young soldiers waiting , fearful of stepping on a minefield which would surely cause blood cheers and twisted thumbs; the sky knows the these courageous men and has feeling for them......
Beautiful write!
