Won't Ask for Directions

the tales they tell of her
(that beautiful woman
without mercy)
they say she enchanted
a valiant knight-
then abandoned him
most cruelly
damned him to wait for her
forevermore

no one stopped to think
that maybe she, too,
is waiting-
but that he
is on the wrong

damn

hill.

(also, in case you haven't read it: La Belle Dame Sans Merci)
