( henry moore / me )

Don Marquis thread on Mefi.

the wraith riding beside
i'll let carry my load
riddle that leers
& blood that never blackens

to be fair, those before me
blundered famously
& they managed somehow to sleep
so i know there's a knack

to simply navigate
Aceldamas of ice
& baldfaced fields of folly
with iron fortitude

unseeing the wraith beside
