Movement:
Like the drifting withered leaf,
Crumpled and dry as it sweeps
Down the tree’s limb in agony.
Scorched:
Like a ship sinking into the never ending sea:
A tomb sunken twenty leagues deep.
Silent, not a whisper seen.
Her corpses: rotted flesh is her ecstasy.
Falling:
Like the leaf of the tree,
Without a sound, no one can see
The light escapes between the scene.
Only anguish for this last reigning king.

Like the drifting withered leaf,
Crumpled and dry as it sweeps
Down the tree’s limb in agony.
Scorched:

Falling:
Like the leaf of the tree,
Without a sound, no one can see
The light escapes between the scene.
Only anguish for this last reigning king.
