Your Old Kingdom

All that matters is that you will no longer be in limbo. 

As you are limply before a palace. 

It is up to us to place you on their doorstep. 

Just as you were placed on our doorstep-

When you were a kitten. 

Beyond those doors, you can be noble still-

But you do not have to be strong.

Like you were for us. 

Your old kingdom.
