seer
the sworn enemy
the captor
satin glow...flashed skin
incantations
in fleeting seconds face down on a marble tiled floor
blood, ringlets, and a sandaled foot
looseleaf notebooks strewn with blessings and curses
the record
the minutes
candle wax clenching a wormwood headboard
silence draped heavy over battlegrounds
a faint stir of kisses
a subtle smile...
rest
