Taken Seriously

The knowing voice long silent
Only a shrill dulness
Rung from our soul
Pounding  heard from coffins 

New dead still roaming free

Take not arms against your brothers
Bear no malice, his sister, your wife
teach your daughters children,
learn, from the devil yourself

Old dead, whispering a plea

Stop the hand from striking
Time no longer ticks
Space is our shared union
Our fists, useless
jaws of sweet denial 
.
