BLOOD ENEMY

The enemy of my enemy
is my friend. The friend
of my enemy is my enemy.

The friend of my friend is
my friend (unless that
friend is a friend of the
friend of my enemy). The

feud of my family is
a breach in the friendship
of my blood. My blood is

my enemy? Is this the edge
of my world? How canine
is the tooth of my despair?
Where is a pulse for peace?

Edward Mycue
