The Jester On The Throne

Kurt Philip Behm

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)
