Good Friday MMII
Then
it happened
The
three complicated strokes
Easily
the most feted of all decisions
I
had led her most of the way unaided
But
when faltering it is best to rely upon the most auspicious atrocities
When
she uncovered me, the dice lied
I
had never undertaken the obvious
And
only then, when pushed
Would
I click and whorl
&
whirl
The
dead, unfortunately, are more eloquent than I
Death,
it seems, will often sink to that depth
Entertaining
with a tug of visceral contempt
You
can grieve
You
also
Can die.
