Two Sides
The challenge of identity
is the blade with two sides
labels meant to illustrate
turning back to decimate
revelation splits the veil
slicing barriers that separate
what was concealed is now revealed
when the knife expands a life
the other edge cuts the hand
when the world retaliates
rejecting the acknowledgment
asking glove now bloody print
at the end the Valkyries
will decide the battle’s end
when the sword seeking peace
turns to fatal injury.
