Suggestions and coercions
Resorts of a target yearning for repair
Why would you ask the demolition crew?
Don’t call the arsonist to put out his fire
As you would the dog to cease barking
It makes sense
Too much to pray the hunter restore his kill
If I stand and say I’m dulled
Rough and blunt
Primitive arrowhead to fatal point
Apollo’s acquisition
Strung against the tension and pulled away
By the arm of my ideal
Strong and invincible
Infinite
Through the air
Toxicity and incompatibility
Hindering movement and ascension
Heavy like the rough stones
Tipping the rough wood in the rough quiver
Piled together, waiting
Capable, waiting
Purposed and prepared
Stay silent like stone and wood
Into trees and into targets
Lifeless and life
Into feeling
Deep and immovable
Holding arteries in place
Removal
Exsanguination
Extinction
Dying breed
Incompatible with projectiles
Arrows make their enemies…
Just that
Arrows make enemies
Rough and primitive
Unfeeling, uncaring, primed
Waiting to be fired
