A Poem by MAY

The warmth of your brother's knife reached into my corner and feeds on the fire from in my soul
where your same fears and defenses had been used as ammunition to drown out the voices in the rain
charred remains were scattered along streams flowing backward to jezreel

what good is there to retaliate if I'm blamed for my condition 
what good is there to lie if I'm forced to choose between a freedom imagined or enslaved
This fabric of hypocrisy rests on both of our shoulders outweighing our collective conscience
wolves in sheep's clothing parading around fallen temples of brotherhood
the amoral site and glorification of death superimposed
chasing shadow after shadow of pestilence tethered to flames 
I saw a distillation of the spirit stretched out like a wound against the sky
A soft erasure cascades over fleshless abode
