Dear Arazni (2024)
I wrote this one about my favorite Pathfinder goddess, Arazni.
The tip of your rapier
will be as sharp tomorrow
The edge of memory
forged by centuries' resolve
from the raw ore of indignities
will still blazon his name
The tip of his thorax
just as supple tomorrow
just as pleasant to puncture
will stretch eternal
perforated
pinned to the pile
of corpses who crossed you
But tonight
my dear dear god
may you unclench your jaw
rest your wrist
dip in the spring
and sleep
