The Duelist |
In the time it takes a handkerchief to fall to the ground |
One of our lives will be over |
Brocade waistcoat catches glints of morning light |
Silk damask swathed in bottle green memories |
We’ve traveled from station to station |
We now approach our final destination |
The only way to awake you was to slap your face |
So stand up straight and let me take on final taste of you |
Before we walk the agreed number of paces |
And turn to face our fate |
The coup de grace delivered so delicately |
You always had such exquisite taste |
Morning sky stretched tight as a drum |
Tension released in an instant |
Brocade waistcoat flecked with blood in the golden light |
You were dead before you even hit the ground |
We’ve traveled from station to station |
We now approach our final destination |
The only way to awake you was to slap your face |
So stand up straight and let me take on final taste of you |
And ice crystals always have six points |
Though every one’s unique |
They melt on the tongue and no one’s ever counted them all |
But you’ve tried |
You |
You |
So cool and calculated |
A real cold fish |
So measure this |
So measure this |
