to stand and fight when one has no choice defines one has no choice
that one might of simple life make rape, make killing, say –
oft mine own choice taken from me, I lay my hand upon my enemy
tear from them their eyes, their throat, claim driven and unto death
so drive my enemies from me, lay claim to my lack of laying claim
that I might not even have my own, in self, in comrade, in arm
instead be shallow wight, ghost of act, willed spiritless
spit upon the wind what howls beyond my threshold, say –
I have no thresholds, and not my own, am enemy –
so clarity let us be – my killings were my own, my enemies my own
my will that drove the bone between their broken pieces solely my volition
death’s ground careful chosen, where mine own will drove it
be no lies between us, neither you, nor I, nor enemy
where fierce you would claim will, I claim incision
surgeon to mine own manifest, cut clean of my own infestation
each error mine assessed, accepted, or missed perhaps – but still mine own
I am my own threshold, and of mine own, am entity –
be what you will, but claim it still and gated gain self-sanctuary
and breached of will, and broken still, bestir thine own self, know the breach
and sundered seal the fracture, where mortar leaches close and powders
tuck point and rest, for still in any be broken – solid will does ghost and kiln
be it mine, or yours, or any – whose stance resets, and staggered still
states – this ground here is mine for killing, or this ground here for waiting
patient waiting, chosen still, claim with no need of claiming
threshold I am, and gated still – seek breach and gain mine enmity –
Wetdryvac is a consulting device, a musician, and a free will procedural ethicist. This makes for some seriously odd material from time to time, much of which is worked with here as Wetdryvac's Lair.
