the king and not the king
a silver thought flashed forlornly
the king and not...
enthroned without angels
having forgot
his own names
the king and not the king
over an ancient kingdom reigns
nowhere in history found and crowned
on a cold day, with leaves blowing through
the aisles of the supermarkets
men taking cherry trollies to the moon
the king and not the king
the lemon curd moon and the stars
can't tell you who you are
decreed, decrees
only the breeze
and then I woke up.
