Words carry burden grander than
the ships that move armies
across the vast shifting chasm;
waves invisible, pounding drums-
Words hit like when you land,
feeling oneness
with gravity for the first time
in months, cauterized.
Words drive men to the edge
of the world, to pull them back in
for slaughter, fresh domain
can't change old ways.
