The Misstep of a Monarchy


I had a plot with various designs,
designs on you

but then I looked down at my left hand while devising said plot,
and I noticed new fissures in my wrist,
and for the first time, I let my mind go with tragic reveries about the future

about a day when no one,
particularly you and me,
would be here to ask each other for ice cream to prolong the evening at hand

about sunsets that would belong to people who did not see our sunsets
who did not know that the Sun also rises
as he once told them all while vying for immortality

He failed,
and so did we,
with our complex designs,

when all we really needed to do
was turn around---
