LAST WRIGHTS
Last night he called after I
sent him flowers...
Last night arrived after
too many hours...
Last night he gave me
answers & peace...
Last night he gave me
such utter release...
& at night's little death;
I was buried in him...
The last knight's last breath
left me married to him
in the shadow gargoyles
from sharp candle lights...
The dirge of desire...
Refracted through fire...
My family of demons -
announced in that choir -
With my name forgotten -
And sweetness gone rotten -
They must retire &
They are the last Wrights.
