Centurion
Dust crusted finger
becomes a pointed instrument
of decision
In the dirt of time
the hand
draws the line,
the words
simple and straight
To those watching
the line is a valley
slashing its cleft
giant scars in timelines
the words sear to
the heart,
drawn with slow
heart beat jumps.
Step forward or backward?
Accuse or acknowledge self?
Prompt
What happens when something is so amazing, so outside your experience? While carrying out orders life surprises you with a hard hitting truth.
