Tonight there is no tree
to cast a shadow, no star
to light the path. And like before,
you no longer have room for him, as he walks
off into the dark - and you are sleeping.
We left him behind at the wake and now
falter one more dawn. This tribulation
in a land that has never had place
for a king. And one we fought
to keep away, as we complete another
revolution. And now we wait.
Sleeping. On the other side of night.
