Transition

Departure
      it's the wednesday lull
      a perfect day for tending goats,
      a day for honest laughter.

      the waiting game continues,
      pursued to the very end
      till the hunting season begins
      anew, and the kill comes
      swiftly, a ballad
      from the mountains

      and an epic on innocence
      ( some call it heroism )
      while the world revolves
      unravelled still.

      what violence
      this
      history
      of
      my people.
