Potent and Worn
Peyton Marlow
fresh and new
come again, this war
i climbed
i surfaced
yet another encore
potent and worn
this body, this whore
it mends
it breaks
in this, we’re born
flay the skin
them, the saboteurs
they reek
they pale
and live no more
fade and decay
true pain, be schooled
he screams
he cries
packs be ruled
flesh of men
plague, we chew
who bows
who breaks
sisters, cleave through
silence of exits
release, to crave
that grace
that guile
curse the behave
in this we charge
and armed, we rise
each, we achieve
each, we conquer
daughters, we comprise
