    Untitled #78

    The pale white king on his horse looking up at
    the aerolites burning above in the greene sky
    leads the lamentatious cavalcade down the street.
    Following come the children of Eden through a
    raging storm of bayonets pointed down by the
    king's soldiers and his fleet of paper salesmen.
    Next will come a poet with drums beating to the
    rhythms of the morning's dawn's sleeping blue garden.
    In the sundered sea of red comes out a prophet
    from the bank, a thief before coming home to you.
    Stolen everything from his father, everything
    he could carry thrown down a dark city alley.
    A bowling ball rolling down the cobbles coming
    to a stop at the feet of a mugger with a
    million names a long way from home telling him to
    feel grief over the loss of his newly dead son.
    The pale white king's tongue laden with heavy black lead,
    unable to speak of this sorrowful feeling.
    The royal roads, crooked and vague, running north towards
    the king's castle, burning yellow with sun during
    the long winter's last snow before the spring's first rain

    Due to circumstances elsewhere on this forum, I may be forced to cease posting on this forum. Please feel free to remove my poem from consideration as part of this contest if this happens.

    I hope you stick around, Cabret. Forget about the other places on this forum, although I find that hard to do myself, and write more avant-garde pieces.
