Lost King

The King inhabits infection

He is  effervescent like an excited elephant

He is gruff as an angry gorilla

He asks his magistrate

To steer him to the villa of extinction

The King can no longer preside over his stronghold

The King’s kingdom is promptly ours

We, his family are anguished

No tears, only fears of failure and fatigue

The future is bleak, the kingdom is weak like an old man’s heart
