A failed appeal for clemency
the white
flag of surrender
fluttered
down
to cover my
naked
body
like a shroud
the parachute
material
soaking
scarlet as it
touched
the evidence
of your
savage
darkness
my last
exhale
a prayer for
mercy
a prayer
denied

Dear B,
Extremely well written in terms of crossing that pain/pleasure divide. The use of the parachute not only as the covering but as the image of a free fall for the pain and pleasure was a very cool metaphor. Your title and closing phrase are stellar.

Brevity can sometimes be a better one two than all the words in the world
