Royalty slipped through their fingers Like coursing sand Dispersed among the dunes In the fleeting days past There are smoke columns rising From the wires in their minds All frayed and alight Chasing reveries from shadow Now they yearn to climb, And dream to reel back time As they pace for a cure…

A year lost in the undertow All remains in place Incomplete, obscured In a shroud of cobwebs On rusted wheels We will take to our roads Breaking down Not far From the firm vise of home In the bleak low tide Will we lose all we’ve earned Rolling back with the brine Far…
