The Stand Off

Sparks of rage smothered the chamber walls
Pressed for free expression
Clamoring for open dialogue
Mounting stench enveloped the dreary halls
Silence controlled
Unwillingness
Unmovable
Bantering of sorts introduced

Taunts of perfection prevailed

Pounding heart
Gasping
The final words
The stand off takes a different turn
Brutal to death

____from Songs of a Journey's End, a poet's companion to the tetralogy, Laying Within the Mark
