Knight

.
He rode with joints ablaze

with pain and heart too heavy.
The squire at his side

brought the telling: the sword

is readied, the castle near-by.

His horse, as old as his cloak

and steel, snorted white breath

on the black night air 

and they rode toward revenge

for his beloved heir 

turning into unavenged

ashes.
