"I do not set my life at a pin’s fee” (I. iv. 71).638Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiPK0XTAY0X

Nor dost no other

For if they didst,

One would giveth their shoulder

F’r mine own drop of sorrow.

Alas, ‘tis false.

Not one person -- be’est cousin

‘R stranger--

Hast shown any care nor value.

Perhaps ‘tis better to be off

In early matin.

‘Twas a day most quaint

That had been laid to waste

Due to mine poorest of frivolities.

Perhaps…

Perhaps indeed.

Though I doth not hast a stomach in’t.

The immolation of the self requires

A gallantry

That most art not cursed with.

As such a gallantry

Is one eldritch beast

Who cuts and engluts

All in its path

“And prey[s] on garbage” (I. v. 64)

Such gallantry

Contained in the mind of all

But to unlock its pin-fold

Is to unleash

A fate most nighted.

Any illumination ceased,

Invisible to thine eyes.

A hand to hold

Lost.

Eyeless

Voiceless

Earless

Senseless.

638Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrEkYghBDog

Senseless to all but one--

One way out

The way out.

Alas, I am not cursed with such

A gallantry for

I am “doomed for a certain term to walk the night” (I .v. 15).

The vicissitudes of fortune hast left me

Worse f’r wear.

Ambivalent to I,

The latchkey to the beast’s dungeon

Remains unfound

“And gins to pale [its] unaffectual fire” (I. v. 97).

And ‘tis not a caterwauling

Yond thee heareth at night.

‘Tis not somebody

Who hast seen the light.

‘Tis more of a postprandial dialogue

That hast runneth into the terrain.

“Burnt and purged away” (I. v. 18).

Doth the river

Pouring from mine own lips

Ever cease its flow?
