Don’t look back.
You are not dead yet.
Even when Orpheus is a place that masks as home,
your name doesn’t have to be Eurydice,
no matter how the Devil swears he needs you.

Violence Begets
"Any last words, cowboy?" "None you'd understand, sodbuster." "Funny. That's Marshall Sodbuster to you. But I meant some last nugget that would help us in the adjudication of the myriad offenses counted against you and your gang. I wasn't asking for penitence."

"Carry on my wayward son. There'll be peace when you are done." That, & you don't have to settle for the "House of the Rising Sun".
This was amazing. Every reference is perfectly placed too!
Literary decadence in a small bite! Wonderfully done!
