What book is this forever ending?
The true hospitality of someone you never met.
Golden, a ring of golden friendship.
Finally, treating each other well.
Religions of blood sacrifice
in pale words + phrases.
Bound to the most malleable laws
that make massive collapse
into the only sought after exit.
The egress that always cannot be witnessed, always we speculated.
Your silence and judgement a drop
absorbed into the soils
under all nails.
You were picked out, digested, and wasted away.
Cut free.
I know who I am and that I cannot remember.
What next?
We all fight our own wars.
Succubi, incubi.
Little men, women.
Digits.

The meek we feed to snakes,
but what of the mongoose?

You destroy! As do we all.
Taking it in. And are you inside?
Are you safe?
Have your battles been fought?
Enough death, it seems, is never enough.
