Edward Moore (c) 2014
Revenge is her motive.
~ Beowulf
I.
Talk of a new life
Conceals apathy
Talk of feelings
Costs money
Watching a bold face
Smile across table
Knowing all the time
That she will demur
When the stark face is shown
A capacity
For evil in which
You ignorantly
Disblieve ...
Then!
Her fingers tighten round my throat
As I recall all the past
I make it a ceremony
Fools like me don't deserve to live.
II.
Forgiveness: a Christian virtue.
She is a barbarian
Ready to cleave spleens and skulls
And make art out of my suff'ring
Does she suffer?
Of course not.
III.
You smile at your spermatic
LOGOS
And ignore love as it works
Intently upon your deadened
Mind.IV.
Partakers of the repast
They hailed him as the best of men
The fall of their lord cut them
To the quick
They cried
Knowing his love was lost
To the grave
Unburdened was his soul.
