I have been tricked, seduced and won over by his masters; how did they know me so well?
A latecomer to the party, I made up for lost time, ignoring all others, reserving my time for HIM.
It’s almost over now and I predict my grief.
But his seat in my house will remain empty, until, like Elijah, or another wishful guest, he returns, claiming the night as his own.
