(NOTE: this was prompted/inspired by some intepretations of the Four of Swords tarot card)

4 sullen swords 
4 truncated tombs
4 comatose clocks
4 querulous quatrains

We of the Absurd
We of the Timed Out
We of the Checked Out
We of the Hanged

our candle-like Keywords
wax and wane UPRIGHT
cough up the REVERSED card
confined in blunted light

enter the Knight of Keyboards
spiritless warrior
brandishing weeping sword
time for The Rest
