My Sentinels

I never got to say goodbye

or thank you

swiftly and expectantly, you were taken

and questioned

never to return again

You reported there was no further intrusion

we all sighed in great relief

I had no need for the rays

or the poison

I’m grateful for your service

but your absence – albeit necessary –

has rendered the castle lacking

in slumber, the nerves misfire

and the crosswork tingles
