I left a note on the mirror, and shuffled my feet through debris.
I dunno who I was then.
Seems to happen once a year.
Some big
thing
an event
And I'm left a stranger.
Hardened, hate-filled, and desperate.
Makes me want to promise some blood-signed vow of pacifism and piety, but it was bled out of me.
No doubt. No Hesitation.
A clarity in rational vindictive action.
Like sorting a closet of stiff wounds and numb scars.
This box is for taking.
This pile is for burning.
This we leave as a warning.
