Motifs

Motifs
We need to move beyond
Our obsession with motive,
Pull instead at the threads
Of the underlying motifs,
Tapestries formed by fear,
Outrage, Opportunity,
Reluctance to seek the help
To silence their demons.
With each death shroud crafted
In savage fusillade,
More of our humanity
Eddies around the drain.
