Damsel in
distress
Virtue
to redress
Reputation
scorned
Honor
most forlorn
On the field
we face
Lances
and a mace
Blood to burnish
clean
Lies
— that death redeems

Such a lovely recounting of an ancient story where sacrifical blood is the only thing that redeems be it sins or accusations. We all need a redeemer. Lovely write Kurt
