Aubade 10

Nervous, yes, but not without reason.

Something vaguely human haunts

the house of Henry.

Henry persona non grata

at the local pub.

Henry without his cathedral.

I want to apologize

on behalf of Henry.

He is too proud to beg.

During a lapse of reason,

he lost his religion

and made a fool of us all.

Oh, what a friend

we have in Henry.

Henry House,

Caucasian male,

now taking up space

at the local cemetery.
