The blades are out tonight.
Siren sharp edges shuffle words
between sense and no-sense.

A yes-sense place
where the darkling parasite shifts and stirs.
Some soundless, shouted thought

disturbed its sleep and now
that mindless appetite devours light.
Light or life?

What difference when coils choke and blind eyes
see only blade shining red relief?
So small and object of false promise.

Promise.

Promise-not-to balances promise-need-to.
"Resistance is useless"
"We have ways of making you talke!"

As corniny as that and just as laughably true
in this particular re-run
of empty, pointless, battling.
