Last Hunt
rendezvous affixed to the hunted's prowl riffled across the dreaded night's scowl
commoners gripe over ambitions estranged nobles reneg on allegiances exchanged
penitence preys on your right to despair neglect strangles the few who still care
hardened by what we assume to be fate conflating the cost of realizing too late
as canopies drop before the unseen sheltered atop this matinee dream
