Dearest Prospero,
I have seen how
the war have destroyed. Our marriage
was enough to keep me sane and
faithful. I am
now a mother from
a demon and a widow.
Prospero,
up the heavens
you must go. Find my son
and my soul out in the crevice of hell
before the gates shut close.
Prospero,
as I cradle him now in
my bloodied hands. Interrupted his spur to life.
And no longer
he cries. There little oneā€¦ there.

Prospero
Tyler Kelley Feb 2011
Is it bad
to root for
Prospero

because he gave
you hopes
of conquering Death

and when he dies,
you still shiver
and check the time?
