Derision
You know what it is like
because you have been here before.
Someone has done harsh on your mellow.
It feels as if the old order of things is in disarray.
Unadorned before your very eyes.
Your sanctuaries have been invaded for the purpose of hurt
and your air needs new power.
Your world has been treated as a smash and grab opportunity.
You know where the language you are thinking about will take you.
This will alter your contours
and change the way you walk.
How strange to be hunted and haunted in the same language.
What they say will be different when you win.
