Short Coriolanus verse

[elliejane]

This is inspired by the scene, in NTLive's stunning Coriolanus, where Tom Hiddleston's Coriolanus is showered clean of blood and fight, centre stage:

After War

With bloody red, spun off in drops of light,
The water wrings the warrior out (but for a time),
As he flings off the daubs of victory and might,
Becomes, again, the husband, father, son.
With other, no less bloody wars, to come.

Not sure this is quite how I wanted it, but it won't bend any other way.

Yep. That right there.
