White Militia

Attack the everything black.
Attack the darkening items.
Attack all the whispers.
Until the dawn shows up,
fire the sky.
Attack the blind people
the unread poem.
Burn all the charcoal drawings,
movie theaters.

Do not stop! Attack! Attack!
It’s an order, do not stop!

Before hanging all the shadows,
attack all the forgotten memories.
Attack the keyholes, healing scabs.
