Lady Ariel
By Henry Coldnight
She always do these three things before bed:
She receives fresh wounds
and cuts,
She paints her armor with mud and blood,
She asks
her dead friend where it hurts.
Her dead friend's name is Excalibur--
They have been friends since the day
He returned to Avalon, and
forever--
They will fight--until one of them...decays.
Then
she wakes up, stretches, gets dressed,
Washes her face, brushes her
teeth,
Puts on some makeup with mud and blood,
Combs her hair
with the raining arrows.
Her dead friend's name is Excalibur--
They have been friends since the day
He returned to Avalon, and
remember--
They will die, but she will never run away.
