trenches

to writhe in anger gives me no joy.

i'd rather we used real words,
to name the walls
which have so suddenly sprung from your feet;

1,000 clay warriors named Doubt and Fear and Excuse
Have clawed from you
so early
so mercilessly
such a waste.

thus, ever the pacifist,
i doubt your compassion.
