The Jester On the Throne
A Prince of Life—A Prince of Death,
two courts for him to flee
One horse disappears under a ransomed
moon,
—a drawbridge now unseen
Eyes close tight and turn within,
all royalty disowned
As the King calls once and the Queen
calls twice,
—the Jester on the throne
(Villanova Pennsylvania: December, 2016)
