Despair

Courage lay bleeding
In an abyss of despair
And he lay
Mulishly silent
More dead than alive
In tranquil pristine desuetude

The warrior
In unaccountable muse
Annoyed but sympathetic
Tried vainly 
To raise an appetite 
For death

Despair himself
Sat superstitious
Of this deliberate chaos
And loathed 
The shifting reverberations
Of solitude.
