Solemn Silent Witness (or, The Myth of Redemptive Violence)
I recognize
the shape of the wound.
Spare said: "Magic is but
one's natural ability
to attract without asking."
Sigil into self harm into sigil.
Ouroboros shits the magic out.
Without tears for what might have been.
Without hope for the future.
We both know not everybody can be saved.
I recognize
the shape of the wound
by what comes out.
