Hence Goes The Impaler Poem by Bryan Riley

I followed you for
a million years;
a pursuit that began
long before the gods
even walked the earth

It was always the
rumors- the destruction
and the bodies piled high
that led me ever to the
places you had only
just departed....
sometimes a mere
instant too late-

Then, after millenia,
I finally caught up and
then I saw you-
dragging your light through
the sullen sky
the madness of your laughter
echoed through the trees as
you rushed past, raging into
the silence of oblivion
