She wears a jewel watch
But not for the time
Moonlight used to navigate
Malleable melancholy men
A careless call to copy
Compliant cavalry killing
Unsuspecting victims
Eyes glinting of gold
Swore an oath to herself
To trust no one else
A wrist crux clasps
Together at the top
No bells in the distance
No awakening alert
Just the dark of the night
With an irreproachable breeze
A path of familiarity
In deceit of the men
A stride closer to her
Is a stride closer to death
She is hanging from a tree
With the help of a necktie
Over a dark-cloaked cliff
A hundred feet high
With forgotten time as the distance
Between life, love, and peril
