Divergence Poem by James Long II

I thought, I'm better off without me
An existential casualty
Without that fire to burn me up I knew that untilled ground would freeze

Riding deep roots of that world tree
Invoke demonic axis mundi
But one is separate, never dueling
And there's just no sparks in the sea

Throwing up bridges, soon to burn them
Or let the spanning fall from space
These stones were claimed, more walls were needed
One hand creates, one lays to waste.
