Day’s Work
Summon the angels
Become as lightning
Cast a spell
Befriend the sulphur
Prepare for battle
Fall in love
Give your all
One thousand percent
My Orion
Dissection

My soul the General
Directing a blood battle
Commanding legions of voices in my head
Take no prisoners!
A Civil dissection upon shared territory
Pitting brother truth against father lies 
War already won
But war is hell, and this battle, more so
My aristocratic hands, hard evidence
My afire body, further proof
I’m fireproof and unquenchable
A knifesman and blacksmith to the bone
The Battle of The Orchids
Perhaps
It’s why we had relative peaceTho’ blue and red both
Magenta suited usWe smiled with eachother
Even when mad or weakenedTruths we spoke into being
During our long breaths togetherWe shared an ancient meal
Despite our different appetites
I Lied
The battle is twofold
And feels insurmountable
Truth comes from the North
And appears as the enemy
Illness attacks at Dawn
And the signal is giv’n
At these intersections, I must choose
And I conclude, I’ll live to fight
Befriend the enemy
And let it slay hope at Dawn
Toe to Toe
You steal my breath
Petrified about
What comes next
Although you’ve perfectly prepared
And now I can’t breathe
For the battle

Conquer me in my sleep. Invade my dreams. My right thigh has flexed
in preparation for battle.
I know you can do this, I know that you’re more than soft, broad feathers on your outside.
I am afraid. Kiss the fear from me -you have my permission. Then slay me with what I must learn.
