dreaded, he returns in name
mourning it bold, the withered hiatus
belt of gold, and lowly state
nuclear sunrise, burned eye pain

hated and bedraggled, the horse
the mummified knight is a statue
returning to town, to stand in force
the singular pallid mannequin monument

see the ghostly one, fog rolls in
delivery man caught a fatal glimpse
fear him the skeleton, children cringe
no one is leaving this town again
