" Honed "...

" Honed "

Honed
as internal memos
by opponents
the world over

moving
not to leave
cities whole

as executions
grow globally
into cabinet posts

surrendering
young and old
to widely known
close associates

ordering deaths
by drones chic
kick-length coats

scavenged
dunce-hatted
fanatical values

surgical masks
ghoulish mascara
mirrored vanities

die-hard fans
punked
homelands

being heard as,
" A wailing
from elsewhere "...
