by M. Douglas Hoss
Jealous poets claim responsibility for
The cold taste of vengeance
Because it is another kind
Of burning passion.
They need no encouragement
To practice the sacrificial rituals
Or to debate the finer points of destruction.
They just need every pain to have its end
With thousands of wasted moments
Becoming the inevitable result.
