THE KING AND NOT THE KING

 

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.
