Starless Night
hope
misplaced,
dark day dawns
tick-tock, tick-tock
date confirmed by lot
thirteenth day of twelfth month
revenge builds its own gallows
three-day night of anguished fasting
queen's hope rests upon her monarch's orb
Jews' annihilation - signed but not sealed
written July 22, 2016
for Kim Merryman's Etheree contest
