I

In the             wake.
Within the agonies.
In the    numb. The
ache           inside a
tooth. Between the
cracks of        earth.
The     dead moons
before life.        The
end              of cliff.
In the  immaculate
antagonism.       At
every    friction. An
ounce   of misdeed.
Your          mother's
needle.    The blood
vessels in the eye of
malison. In less than
a second.               In
this    mortal      coil.

If       I         must list
more, kill             me
again,          you and
I                  will see.
There        I        will
be               at every
war. There             I
will be.           There
you will    question
me:                 have I
began,              have
I                    ended.

Neither.
