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.
