Another step

Through the slats and sidewalk cracks,
beneath the bush and pebbled mound
creeps the ever-twining—
—and the never-make-no-sound.

Serpentine asymmetry,
filtered through filmed eyes
by chaos, truth-distractions,
and words' clever disguise.

Halt, and do not fail to reckon
consequence of flesh—
—against flesh set, our brethren
who one another thresh.

O'er the paths and alley-ways,
past the mounded cost
where war was waged, and pestilence
still feeds on spirit lost.

Member of the bodies-battered
humankind-enveloped dream:
walk another step, another
way, another life to teem.
