In Reverse

The intrigue was deepening. 
Remove the capstone. 
You had buried a 
legend alive.

The trial begins and 
ends, leaving no room
for any shady questions, 
and fake answers.

You don’t want to accept
a lesser pain. There was
no door, no window.

The arousal comes 
when you hear the
explicit obscenities.

You want another twist to a tale.
I want to demolish the fate.
