Hush














This concentration of power
allows no excuses.
There is no weak spot in the field
where the potency could leak out,
could run away

There is no voice against it,
no answer to it.

We are hushed, aware
that nothing makes sense,
nothing gets a hearing
outside of this truth,
in the face of which
we lay our weapons
and our burdens down.
