Royal Assassination
To drink the wealth of ochre grape and wine
A hark, amber laughs in the face of fates.
He mocks the masks of earthly, lone divine
A jade of trumps, a golden glaze of high gates
His doom designed in pulpit eyes of grief
A shade bears fruit, dark daggers in the night
Plunged into flourished flesh. He sighs relief
While the world drifts off, a rancid respite
His throne, sand and sulfur in semblances
Horses and legions in marauding mists
Scrolls of empty cloaks and remembrances
His life is ashes, a kingdom desists
Though time embers slates of these bloodless things
Thus is music marking the death of kings
