SAUL'S DEATH

I used to be a monk, but gave it over

Before books and prayer and studies cooled my blood,

And joined with Richard as a mercenary soldier.

(No Richard that you've heard of, just

A man who'd bought a title for his name.)

And it was in his service I met Saul.

The first day of my service I liked Saul;

His easy humor quickly won me over.

He confided Saul was not his name;

He'd taken up another name for blood.

(So had I—my fighting name was just

A word we use at home for private soldier.)

I felt at home as mercenary soldier

I liked the company of men like Saul.

(Though most of Richard's men were just

Fighting for the bounty when it's over.)

I loved the clash of weapons, splashing blood—

I lived the meager promise of my name.

Saul promised that he'd tell me his real name

When he was through with playing as a soldier.

(I said the same; we took an oath in blood.)

But I would never know him but as Saul;

He'd die before the long campaign was over,

Dying for a cause that was not just.

Only fools require a cause that's just.

Tools, and children out to make a name.

Now I've had sixty years to think it over

(Sixty years of being no one's soldier).

Sixty years since broadsword opened Saul

And splashed my body with his precious blood.
