Elegy for defeat

May you stand, body bound
       To invisible chains
       Feet in the ground
       Heavy with all of your pains
       And from your lips of resignation
       Tumble sounds of supplication.

May you stand, blinded eyes
       Turned to the zenith aster
       Under such azure highs
       The blood of your master
       Drips from fingers trembling
       Onto the great pyre crackling.

May you stand, down to ash
       Your soul will burn
       Like a tattered sash,
       For the wind you yearn
       Of wingless dreams and delights
       Broken by morning screams and lights.
