Poems and Prose #163 - Bannerman

Do I want some
unearned victory,
standing atop a pile
of foes who
voluntarily lie prostrate?
I ponder,
sliding my sword
into its sheath
and nodding.

Poems and Prose #162 - Crag

Enhanced by a
bitter-tasting pill,
I stretch my limbs
and prepare to scale the hill.

When I reach the top,
I plan to finally be still,
then,
and not a millisecond until.
