The line "bravery of dripping steel" used an abstraction of bravery in such an uncanny way and I really wanted to use that...but I changed it to a different context.
Jaws of blood tipped teeth
crouch beyond the armored gates.
Armies gather with bravery
of dripping steel, praying for peace
or a nuclear bomb.
As the gates bend to the
strength of brazen beasts,
swords clash against
sheaths and nails-
victory only to those who
can kill faster.
