Our Belligerent Personas

We keep dancing with

our belligerent personas

as if

they’re a separate entity;

one we can choose

to be

or not to be

based on our need.

Oh no,

not we.

But when we bite the head

off of someone else

it leaves a dreadful trace

and what it does in the mouth

is nothing to what it does

in the heart.

There’s a drop of blood

no one ever sees;

it is pooling now.

Whose can it be?

: : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : :

We keep dancing with

our belligerent personas

as if

we can just skate free.

Oh no,

not we.
