A Covenant with DeathA Poem by Jeremy BakerMy friend, where have you been? You were supposed to have come for me - by now.
I think sometimes I embarrass you; My gauche countenance, consistent with clandestine charity.
An avid follower of fashion like you - adamant that neither fear nor favour will dissuade you from enlarging your circle of acolytes!
(Note to self: Don't let a passionate promise addle your soft little brain.)
Come, my friend, I am willing, and waiting; why are you so wary?
Let me consummate our covenant; Let me prove myself worthy Let me dream of evermore, with you. © 2011 Jeremy Baker
