Tell me
the drone asked
What do you see?
How should we hide the demons
when the blood has stained the walls?
How should we hold back, hold on
to the blade
sticky slick slicing
our palms?
Do we raise
our carbon fiber
arms
let lead fly
again to the sky, to each other
Or push out
deep held tight
fear
terror
though it snags
stretching and splitting
the very walls
that kept us safe?
Do we look on it
black and blue and grey and gasping
with fondness
for what we intended
what we stood for?
Or in a last act
of contrition
twist wrap
sever
our connection?
Now walk away
