kinship rejected
friendship forsaken
allegiance rebuffed
trilogy of unbelief
rooster crows
self-certainty dissolved to cowardly denial
truth tastes bitter in timidity's wake
tears sear shame onto cheeks
self-inflicted grief
perfect skin torn
for one
saving his own
this test
a dress rehearsal
for greater future stakes
it will not always be this way
today's crumbling rock
will soon hold strong and firm
but friday's failure must come first
