Definitely a work in progress

Words,
They cling like candlewax,
White-drippage
Makes for swiftly made dust.
Ash and bones are not made with flame,
But with the cutting and grinding
Of the teeth that gnash out words,
Words that refuse to feel
and ignore
as we plead ardently
For succor.
The savage mouths know not the damage they do
With their weapons of mass destruction.
