Quarantined

                                  Autonomous machete for hands

Warden and judge hide behind masks

Wet raindrop lull

Small rationing

Exhumed the rhetoric of

Break the weak in single file

Sanction this outbreak- a virus conspires

Push becomes shove, days become months

I seem to have forgotten the warmth of the sun



Feeding frenzy, it's contagious

Have trigger, will travel

Single sparks are spectral fires



Shackled the grapple and the sentinels found

Binoculars watch cardboard towns

Strung up in webs the net was flung

Over the auditorium

Slave trade the weak, no call to arms

Sanction this outbreak; a virus conspires

Push becomes shove, days become months

And I seem to have forgotten the warmth of the sun



A single spark can start a spectral fire

Have trigger, will travel
