in the crucible of this moment,
conflicting positions, their posture,
in the gathering storm of trial,
on the front lines, in the trenches,
the start of negotiations, a sham,
warring factions, enemies colluding,
familiar words rising, treason, betrayal,
how we have been here before, in our history,
in the exigency, the existential threat, terror,
life and death, sovereignty, pulled from the ether,
caught in the swirling maelstrom, the agony,
a genocide against these people, martyrs
of this now, this moment, this time of suffering,
feeling the ground moving under our feet,
knowing the evil that is ascendent, the lies spoken,
positions, line crossed, far too many lives lost…
