Chapter Text
dancing with our swords
i have the advantage now
striking from above
face down in water
i was chastising my wife
giant, stubborn wench
the bloody mummers
tied together the lovers;
a sapphire dowry
vomit, shit, and tears
the knight's hand is festering
unjust punishment
demigod in the steam
beaten, broken. glorious.
naked before her
she holds me so close
more gentle than i deserve
light in the darkness
