what do you do
when shrapnel of mind
let loose on rabid breath
tears at flesh
within
bullets round and smooth
wreak havoc
on pillars of norm
challenged
niceness blown apart
in stark light
harsh persistent truth
revealed
cloaks hastily drawn
screened vagaries of
loose imaginings
stripped
etched faces bland
devoid of genuine strength
cast aside effigies
of life
once lived interrupted
childhood tales
spent on pyre of fight
delayed
where skies are green
and grass grey
parameters moved
until there is
no sound
