across the channel
they call each other
to encourages the slower ones
to keep pace

Dog
I’ve seen a dog
bite its own tail
and then turn around
to bark

of things we cannot change.
corrupted by violence and terror
can one be redeemed.
and when the light of hope diminishes,
their eyes will burn with the embers of hate.
a lifetime of servitude,
following a masters sacrifice…
