​This letter of sorrows
this unholy drift
this whirlpool of massacre
this sordid rift
what is in death
makes it alluring, 
race and kindred 
so bewildering 
prayers will continue 
as they must 
take out the dagger 
break the bust
images are hollow 
seekers are none.
 
This summer of sorrows
woebegone.
