a light shines in the tower up on high
a silent call to a waiting presence
a rope comes falling down
i take hold and scale the walls
a shining light my only guide
i climb for it alone
i crawl over the ledge
my heartbeat slows
i rise and look for my Lapurzen
i can’t see her though
there’s no one here at all
a sword flash alerts me to a silent presence
the sword slash takes my head
i feel it slice the bone
i watch my body join my head on the floor
a lover’s tryst gone horribly wrong
death by an invisible killer
