She stumbles upon his latest in a bookstore,
Quickly sifts through it and thinks to herself—
Wow, you really did it.
You took your pain and transformed it
Into something beautiful and true.

Chronicling the agonies of an otherwise
Undistinguished knight banished
From the realm for the sin
Of having profaned
All of its truth and beauty
By only feeling pain.
And all he feels is pain.
