love and war

yerrey

i have time
minutes usher in greater anger
but not for you
the sun hides in smoke

last night i spoke to myself
flags and flesh
even after the odds had won
ripped and decayed

i tore out my soul
words gouging eyes out
just to show my worth
before bombs do

i think i turned coincidence into fate
heaven rains
by hearing you say hello
washing their hands and my remains clean

ISN

yes? yes!!!!
