The End of
Something
Beneath
the window’s
bay, in a perfectly
angular square of
shade, there slopes the
sunken hollow beside
a mound of grassy loam.
And in the space
lies her remnants, arched yet
lifeless as the void
dictates, an existence
rendered idle by the
motion of the blade.
She is consorted in
indolence, (just
as in the feats of
covetousness)
by her partner lying
prone in juxtapose.
They were red hot
lovers these two,
joined in a
licentious collective, until their
ardor paid heed to
the soft brogue of steel.
Its whisper so
persuasive, as the
contentions of an
adulterous tongue,
beguiling lives
along a barbed incline
to meet their end.
Fleet, sinuous thrusts,
and their vigorous
monotony, soon
curbed the wield of
fanciful promise.
Whilst song, their
song, diminishes to resonance
through a density of
fabric, gallant fleets
of soil bound in
time to throttled beats.
From a plunging
brink towards the fractured
earth, each
altruistic wisp gives itself to the
necessary
exploits of reprisal.
