//------------------------------// // Sonnet 11 // Story: The Sisters' Coronet // by Fable Scroll //------------------------------// Cast out upon the starless, vast expanse The senses find no purchase and grow numb. The blackness turns the eye to inward glance From whence the deeply mended visions come. No sight, no sound: The language falls all still. Without disturbance mind and ear grow keen To listen to the heartblood's thund'rous trill That echoes warped yet clear off walls unseen. The barren wasteland feeds no healthy fruit Beneath the castles that on mountains loom And blacken Sol in power’s mad pursuit To force heart’s tithe from those who face their doom. The gods condemn the rulers of this place. The saints may not deserve ill-gotten grace.
