Solemnity

Give me a lone word.
I will write a poem.

You enter the final hour 
of diagnosis. The kill 
was imminent.

Back to back two trysts collide 
generating a fire.

Who was peeling the moon ?

The stab sets in. In  
abeyance of the gift. I  
will give you a scar.

Daisies will remain awake 
at night, for the vigil 
of a slain pilgrim.
