Steven Schroeder | mythopoiesis

no place is one more place
in this world nothing

more or less

just

us

or them

trace
the demon to
that place there

and we
will know
this place here

is ours

and we will know
who it is
we are

at war
with

there will be deaths
that would not otherwise

have occurred

to us, but
truth be told all

we want is
to get

our
story

straight
back to business

as usual.
