Eventide

Chilling currents blow over the untended grave

Wilted bouquets rest against the nameless stone,

Despite the numerous heads she chose to save

Silent eulogies are all she’s known,

Except for the whirring chainsaws.

Perhaps it was the four-legged monsters

Holding brown mounds in their yellow jaws

Caring not for the earth their band stirs

Hammers smash in nail after nail

In the end, she needed a release

This wooden box was now her jail

I guess not even a hero can rest in peace
