A Hitherward Journey
by JCA
Coolness upon the thighs
Tingling upon the flesh
Enlaced by the darkness
The heart pounds in fear
Yet my tremors are but ornaments
That radiate the night
Reflecting upon distant walls
To resonate under the beckoning summons
Now in pander to knight and priest
And intimidated by queens I,
The haunting epicene
Walk the night
