Myrick

Facing a long, dark, hollow shaft,
you held gravity and fate close,
your allies in a sudden struggle
against the steel double-barrel.

In shock, screams from both holes,
dispersed dark powder and silver stones,
and thirteen men can't believe
you were so immediately brave.

Thanks be to God, one woman,
sinless and gravid with the truth,
was the only one who needed to.
