The Sacrifice

The brave face the ice of space

Accept the dark inside their hearts
Rejuvenate the moon they lose
Each month & greet the sinking stars
As night demurs into another day
We walk past what we cared for
To find what we could not claim
In a domain we cannot name
Under a sun that stares down on us
Like the muzzle of an aimed gun
You were your only victim
Who could not accept the sinister
Inside the slick depiction of your dream
As you closed your eyes to the hate
You could only love & cinched
Your one guess close around
The neck of the sacrifice you chose
