A sifting of ideals in recompense composed. A boy in reddened ribbons a king I once deposed He ruled a land of nothing and never was morose An edifice of stone in elegy defined. A king in greying shrouds a boy I once interred. He rules a land of markers and all there now defer. A litany of minds. A blood stain on the door. A moment of elation and a boy that I abhor is underneath my floor. I didn't kll him quickly or even kill him once. Every time I close my eyes is another time he dies.
