The Battle Scenes
Act 1:
I step bravely onto
the battlefield of
reality choosing
a samurai sword to
kill all othering
and a shield of love
to protect myself
from pain.
Act 2
I return to the
barracks broken
and die in
the arms of the
goddess.
Act 3:
I joyfully jump
onto the battlefield
of reality, this time
choosing a chopstick
to kill all othering
and a viper to
lick the wounds
I will find on me.
and scene.
