the options
its easy to forget the banter
stockpiled by the wayside
once you get
farther
down the road
the words
thrown
like daggers
fall away
like leaves
nevertheless
you must take inventory
of the
damage
that you can afford
to compensate
you must strangle
the truth
out of
the hatred
in the darkness
with numb fingers
and silent tongue
you must make space
for error
on the foreground
of the playing field
where we all challenge
one another:
humanity
dignity
gratuity
until
we are bare bones
and lying naked
swollen
and bleeding
shattered
in places that no sunlight
shall enter
