BLUDGEONING #poetry by jay

sledge hammer striking the ground
i locked you out
you/ and all of them
it was clear
there was no way forward

long ago/ severed

and i hung onto nothing
and i clung to hope
and i hoped for something

turns out
it was fantasy 
a bludgeoning

a falsehood and fallacy
a foregone conclusion
a reckoning 
clearly—

never fulfilled.
