dream of apocalyptic
long evolved system

one of many herded
into a specific locale

unplaceable certain
D   O   O   M

one of the controllers
wounded in battle
wheelbarrow abandoned
fled in vain hope

i immediately took it up
taken in as one of them

along with others climbed
a great tree to heights

women & others remained
ground little shelter

in the tree we sang 
hymn hum belloe
insects in woods

tides of wargs-once-dogs
now great relentless hunger

packs of wild once humans
beasts in yuletide festival

in all the chaos this group
left entirely kept sacred

gods unto loyal priests
true religion & service

safe post passage 
& proof no hope flee
