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.
