Devotional iv.

Stop thumping, Heart, don't strike.
I've had enough of you.
And yet my brain would like
Naught better but to screw

The screws more tightly, saying,
as far as I can tell,
Cease your insipid sighing,
silence that rebel yell.

We've just begun this journey
into ever-night,
all knights summoned to tourney.
Welcome to the Light.
