Whom Thou Lovest

face down
again tonight
this time
of the sacred cathode
all white ways
when it glowed
free, electric

flat-line
when to destroy
is to
defy his last request
soulfully
all the best
or not at all

Godspeed
with hearts and stars
edgewise
hold high your smartest blade
whom thou lovest
thou betrayed
without question
