cold lateral fire

 cold lateral fire


when a collateral cloud ate the moon

at the end of a long and lonely night when

rescue lamps shone clear and bright and yet

bore witness how they would call death down soon

how they would kill their own embraced desire 

to again still the death that they thought they’d killed


for at that lone enfilade that dastardly one-sided fire

although death was thrilled and the devil was thrilled 

a lynchpin had finally been pulled


no longer would the world spin on and on

no longer would dissent be culled 

for as one all of humanity’s light shone out

as one our voices were raised to shout


NO MORE!  NO MORE!


not tomorrow but here   now   today

love and atonement must have its way 


unload
