Great Divide

We are just two bull rams seeking

Dominance among the herd.

Reason long suspended, vanquished

To some craggy mountaintop.

 

Now the only sound for miles is

Two heads butting with a crack so loud

It splits the crowded stillness,

Shattering the great divide.

 

Neither prone to letting go.

Neither one can walk away.

Hurling bodies seek to crush with

Fist-filled verbiage soaked in heat.

 

Blow-torch madness reaches fever

Seeking to crack skull to skull.

Who will finally succeed this

Caustic catastrophic game?

 

Neither bade such confrontation.

But it came,

No warning signs.

Evolution’s revolution,

No surrender…

No retreat….
