War Hounds
The empty plasma of overridden bromides
colors the milestone in black;
fording pass the crumbled maze
and compendious restrained impulse
comes brutish resentment,
where conspiring rivals compete
in camisade and strappado;
vernal battery from adolescent minds
for whom forego canon for entropy--
encroached, broken, and tattered hearts
the swells of youth,
malapert and malaised egoism
contest for love, where
invidious blows soon conquer
the weaker foe, looking back
savagery always wins over acumen.
