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
Y U L E T I D E
celebration primal being
