Anlace and Heart - Obsequiae

Calm as a pastoral sky

Reposeful and rehearsed

Anteros appeased by her fortitude

As she draws the blade in hand

Blazing autumnal radiance

Fleeing beasts from the weald

Diana clasped her anlace

Readied her arrow’s course

Drawn now into the ether

Debitum Naturae

Swiftly taming the wilderness with fervor and devotion

To nourish the depth of thought

That the same fate now comes for us all

Calm as the pastoral sky

Remorseful in contrition

We await the arrow’s fate

Hunted into submission

Coldness fills my veins

The stillness of my heart

Cast me to the otherworld

Where we may never part
