the soft incense clings,
invisible yet binding,

WAIT HERE
...You will see them
In the malls
Once proud
Vibrant
Semi-predatory
Creatures
Idling
Semi-lurking

Ladies dressing rooms
Lingering

War Is Where Nobody Wins
...War
Is where
Nobody wins
And everybody sins
At the unbeautiful bar
War is hell on earth
At birth
