Battle Royal
deep down
the hairs-width
longing increased
by forever draws
to last in shades
and fallow-fields
eclipsed with wings
the flight of fanciful regret
his peers dancing in the pit
repeating only the chants
& magical parades beyond
these fields & subtle wards
the bitter end where frenzied
axemen spilled blood of ancient
rhymers in typically laid out futures
their language locked in sensitive returns
the questions posed but never passed
the searing soaring heart of things
the splendid dying of the kings.
