vengeance goes both ways (2024 challenge day 21)

Folder: 
2024

you stake a bigger claim than ever

on this swollen rotting ship

this winter-held mountain town / centered in ice

 

when she comes

swaggering back to reclaim what was never yours

you enact some sort of vengeance

 

you exist loud

no glory held for those who did and do your bidding

always using the finish line

to put someone in a chokehold

 

careful or you’ll find yourself at the bottom

of destiny and martyrdom

without being able to tell which is which
