The Fallen’s Tree
What is the knight’s name?Why does he kneel at the fallen’s tree?Is he the cause?Or the griever?Do the weapons of the past make him weep?Or like many others does he stay strong?Is his strength measured by time?Or by his fallen foes?I don’t know.And I haven’t the heart to ask.

Ghost of Yesterday
Oh fleshless man, Though you are without flesh, Why do I say man? For you are man, You were made man, Born man, Lived as a man, Died as a man, And yet you continue to haunt. Have you lost where to go? Did you not hear the call to return? Child of flesh, Ghost…

Violet Violence
Am I a man of God, or a man of men? Why must there be a difference? What was your purpose in creating me? Was I not built to do your will? I’m I not worth your time? Why create me only to leave me alone? God, will you not answer me? Why have you…
