Lawrence Hall, HSG
The Grave Robber of Fifth Avenue
Unferth postures upon the ashes of
warriors
The warriors he has despised all his wretched
life
Because he is unworthy to be one of
them
Warring with only his mouth and never
a spear
He mocks their wounds, their missing
limbs, their graves
He steals their widows and orphans
for himself
As ornaments to his manic caperings
While arrogating honors he could never
win
But when the Dragon comes…
But when the Dragon comes, lashing
its tail
Unferth will be ghosted away as a howling
wail
