Empathy

2018-05-08

Family and hecklers
Alike have gone - so
I am the only audience
Left for the gibbet and my
Friend. a silent
Breeze hums - so
I observe 
He swings,  remindful of
A clock: a tick tock he 
Heard all his life but -
No longer or - of
A bell: a ding a ling of
Encroaching hunger
In a gesture of
Empathy, i cut a hunk from
His thigh - so
My friend
Can have a final
Dinner with
Me
