The Latitude Of Fear

A twist

of the

intestines.

A night

without

sleep.

Anxiety

in an impatient

hallway.

A slow inventory

assessment

of ones life

while

awaiting results.

The

immediate

flash

at the moment of impact.

An

evening

in

horror

while the negotiators

talk them out.

Twenty brothers

on the front-line marching

through the rain

of

fire.

Method acting

a normal version of oneself

wondering

if any passersby

saw the malevolence

performed

behind the club

under

the

broken

streetlight.

The atheist

begging

for the Almighty

magic.
