the knight
the white knight did not make eye contact
when he left
simply, he picked up his sword
and walked out to a starless evening sky
he left the fireplace lit
clinging to the remnants of blackened, ashy fire wood
as his heavy metal boots clanged
every step of the way
i watched him climb atop his neighing stead
and heard the clip-clops of hooves fade in the night
i told him to stay
he didn't
soon after
he returned
but only what was left of him.
