Poetry: Depletion of Loving

I stood upon my ramparts
Watching every projectile come towards me
Missiles assailing to harm me

Not your normal enemy
But what I made a part of me
Another loving piece

No worries

Not about my life
My existence

Actual concern for
My assailant
My assailants

As I watch
the cuts, gashes and wounds
Blossom and explode
Upon me

I merely see
Look into the flames
Ingest what is brought against me

Silently

the soft click of
another vault door closing
preparation for another
transitioning

Compartmentalization

Complete
