We Rend

Empty phial staring at me,
dried-up maypole never crowned.
While above me, botching one more job
on the filthy edge of town,
stands a long-forgotten witness.
Gaping sores line her mouth.

With a burst eyeball and your lens stained, blackened,
you always knew this had to end.
Now your every hope has been punctured, flattened,
to what terror does this all extend?
We rend.

In the briers we will marry
scores of edged, gleaming shards,
while attempting to capsize the hull,
borne on bile and disregard.
So administer the poison,
and collapse while I stand guard.

Passing through the open yards of home,
attempt to dam these overflowing arteries alone.
Caught up in the writing set in stone,
solemn, gilded proclamations guarantee the loss of all you own.
How you’ve grown.

Somewhere in these open yards of home
hides a long-forgotten witness bathed in dial tones.
Intervening years did not postpone
the imminent arrival of the guest who hacks at ties you call your own.
Time to go.
