Just This

Force that turns glass shards to mists
and causes girders to bend and twist
flesh and bone cannot resist
nor mortal word can console this

pushed to the brink
with blotted ink 
the buttons pressed
have secret links

to battles pitched
it might seem rich 
for ribbon bars
as spirits lift

the bodies stiff
a cheek to kiss
for some they dare
not lift the lid

an endless list
of souls to miss
we ask the question, 
‘is it just this?’
