(pacifist warfare #'s 34&72)

Done-one: sacrifice, closed at the claw.

What bleeds honey?

I cannot reply and sweetly

I deny

Ever knowing

Old scratch or religion

Not to mention

Myself.

I thought to be kind then

Something else happened.

I thought again and again

And then I did

(And you remembered nothing

And something

I did, I do

And never can

I will...)
