But Cold, Her Eyes
by Tay
Age Group: Adult
Cold, her eyes,
And she’s taking the final step
Up
She doesn’t shuffle
(They all shuffle…)
But her neck is straight,
Hands bound in filthy hemp,
Nails ragged.
Dirty, her gown,
And I find her revolting,
She’s bathed in her own
Waste, just this morning.
Her scent is a pungent odor,
Pulling the bile up to the back of my throat.
But cold, her eyes,
They disdain me.
Insignificant.
(Is she not afraid?)
The crowd is cheering, demanding,
Shouting out their hatred for one whom
They don’t even know,
But here,
But now,
In this place,
She hears them not.
No hemp to grace her ivory neck,
But lay the faggots at her feet,
Roses for the damned.
They see only her proud head,
As yet unbowed before them,
Even now, as the torch is lowered,
Shadows of fear on her flesh,
She defies them all,
Even me,
Her murderer, her lover…
But cold, her eyes,
Though they quench not the fire,
And I’m alone as the urine
Puddles there at her feet.
