Capture the Flag

Revelatory minds pit
Against one another in

The eternal playground
Holding children

Who collide against
Delicate mirrors which

Fracture across time
Creating violent schisms

Its jagged edge
Cuts a page, feckless

Ink droplets fill
With divine blood

A dripping quill
To write a book

Held shut in opposition
To adherent sects:

Capture the flag in
An unassuming park

Of consequences
Unrealized in youth.
