A patient serenade,
A timeless toll
this cyclical sign speaks of failure.
What fate lies for this committer of premature infanticide?
Emptiness.
Division.
Solicitude.
Tenebrionid flutter overhead, above this defiled throne -
they have sought their dark place but bring no jubilations of holiness.
She, a fruitless vessel, is a target of raillery,
mocked by her own tardiness,
deluged by all that is natural.
Unnourished and unable to bring further satisfaction
seven days of lamentation lie ahead -
until Hope can come again.
