Clutchmates















blood connections drive us all into fray
memories: soft, warm, rancid, cold, bitter
bringing us from the past into today
brethren create and destroy our litter
cruel loving and loving cruelty abound
attention whores and loners together
move to fight and fight to move in rebound
demons with us in regretful tether
try as we might to break free of these chains
they are part of us, chemical makeup
memories, freshly cut, bleed to refrain
to see them reflecting upon wakeup
family is not to strong to ignore
celebrations waning, "PEACE!" we implore
