The battle

senor bread and cheese 1858 (Paris) – 1894 (Toronto)

Free verse
Swords clashed everywere
I heard a movement in my ears
a spear flying through the air
t'was one of my greatest fears
it struck me in the chest
I fell to the ground
I was one of the best
but I was not to be found
And when I lay there in misery
I thought "am I but a pawn?"
I suddenly thought my soul will be free
and then suddenly, I was gone.
