There is the history,
the hatred,
the killing,
the resolution,
the remembering and forgetting,
the strange order
of a world dismembered
and put back together
all wrong,
disordered,
like Frankenstein’s monster
and justified by the removal,
now safe,
passed as peace,
reciting the lore of death,
with the smell of flesh
on an altar,
the crushing,
disintegration,
the grand stories of history
that have no end,
accumulating.
