IV.

The voices in my head are company at last

in these high rooms

in the glove of the night, under a fretted moon.

That gypsy Hansen’s out there drunk with a gun

shouting about ‘corrupting a minor’ and

‘raping my sister’. Letting off shots.

I was on her once

and all I got out of it was scabies, and now infamy.

I told the Countess that her lover’s

just a common thief;

she said, ‘My brother, you mean.’

Our bags are packed.

The carriage waits below.

I have stoked the fever enough to spark some fire.

It’s dreadful, I tell myself, but there’s no other way.

We are above such people.

But now it’s done. And now I have my play.
