Hazy reeds tear at his flesh
Twining with the scarlet breeze
Cloven sinewed ivy mesh
Writhing up the trees
Sullied skin is set aglow
Drenched in fading firelight
Ballads only he can know
Unfurling in the night
Hallowed murmurs on his lips
Witnessed by a calling bird
Thistles at his fingertips
Vespers left unheard

AN: I have always admired Duo as a character, especially when considering
his motivations. This was just a bit of artistic crap I popped out in two
minutes on a napkin in Brit. Lit. Maybe someday I'll etch out the
backstory of this poem, and the who/what/where/when/why of Duo's running
away. Maybe not. I'm entirely too lazy as an author, it seems. If you
loved it, hated it, or want more, please let me know. I adore writing,
it's true, but I have my reservations about sharing it with others. Avail
me of these! Lol
(press me, press me!)
