the last poem

Tilt back your visor 
Smiling victory salute 
O’er Hell’s fell minions
And heaven’s great brutes

I peer at the grey gate
Gleaming with death
Beating my chest thrice
An unbeatable throb
More invincible than mere Achilles
And far less proud

A sun fire
A moon fire
And what exactly is 
The Difference?

Perhaps only the spelling
But the mere shape is
Still the stuff of stars
Dying or defiant
But what exactly is the
Difference?

So they all say
But they will yet see
That no man is an island
But the difference 
Is Me

Though I am no rock
Tumbled in the lee
I am the churning 
Surging
Infinite sea

My tainted honor gleams
As a shadow in shade
So long is the silence
Forever

I’m afraid
