Viscous 11-11

Viscous
 
 
The world was sickening, when
duty called for giant men
knowing blood was thinner than slaughter       as much as i think about it I can´t recognize what you meant exactly
 
to ensure its thickening, by
evaporating into sky,        do you think of blood on a battlefield? that was what came to my mind
or dissolving into water.        

 I stumble over those two lines as it´s illogical that blood shoud be thickening by evaporating AND dissolving. 
But IF you wanted to say the following it would make sense to me (explanation in brackets is not part of the verse suggestion)
"to ensure its thickening by
evaporating into sky              
instead of dissolving into water"   (this way i would instantly see water as a metaphor for tears, creating a contrast to the poorly noticed bodies on the battle field)
 
It's harder to remember
in viscous times.                   almost intentionally misread "vicious times" first.
