Discord

Sever Discordant ties

those errant strings attached

the sick portal of weakness

we haven't walled off

but for enticement

a smoke screen

graying out

the true intentions of

hope of one last shot at the other

one last vulnerability

fecund for a cancerous growth on the soul

such a sad preoccupation

such a tainted goal

we should be looking for healing things that make whole,

not a chance to tap-dance before a headstone

on a grassy knoll.
