between the
embers
skating
Across the refuse
witnesses to
the chemical conflagration that
choked the city half to death
they know the identity
of the Ghost with a Match
he is one of them
part
of the collective Undreaming
A generation lost to the
wanton pursuit
of power
The money being
Offerred
is no reward
No matter
how many zeros
follow the digits
For them
its not to arrange a more
comfortable life
but rather a death
of dignity
For they have
with the unfathomable rubble
a molecular bond
having been raised in a place where
Omerta
is the only law
that all respect
where a grinding and uncertain
life
is greatly preferred to
certain death
One gruesome story following
another
a heart-piercing narrative
for not too far
down the highway
renamed in glorious ceremony
Four others were
ruthlessly
unceremoniously
brought to the end
of their
life roads
A callous murder ritual
that will be
extended by the State
For surely there will be
another offer of
Burial money
and just like in
Riverton
it cna never be
enough
