Deliverance:
1. The mercy-killing of a species through suicide-by-apathy
(If only.)
Churning through saviors like generations
oblivious in nature, moving past the murders
smiling into the sun
and this marriage to mutilation
buying atrocity on the cheap
drowning the devil in anodyne
while the spirit of the kind annihilates peace
Break them on the rack.
End them on the cross.
An acrimonious sacrifice
to momentary gods
twisting the abyss
wounding the universe
signing a death sentence with a mother's kiss
Someone else will bury them.
Dying like starlets, heroin chic
aborting the conscience perpetually
the embrace of damnation in lovable genes
reaping a soul into being
Like all the rest.
Benevolence and nurture
a corpse cradling a still-birth
the
vanitas
vindication
of a natalist's validation
preposterously naming the stars
as they crush you
Cold silence has a tendency
to atrophy any sense of compassion
between supposed lovers.
Between supposed brothers.
