there is some curious inversion of the fates

between us

is there not

friend of mine

you are wealthy happy and devoutly young

whereas I am your heretic

a starving miserable misfit heretic

an unhoused and unhinged lunatic at the edge of your light of ages

yet I feast at your table

after you left

just before your candles and colours which guide us died

both you and I
