Must Rest



Must Rest

Laugh to the Finish
Of Mysteries:
Let them diminish, -
Lyingly please! -

Screamingly vomit,
Sinkingly gurgle, –
Kingdom is dawning,
Silent is Crawl!..

Slowing down
Stopped in the Run:
You’re like a Clown
Clown from the Clan.

Of mighty Kinship,
Rule Avalon:
Over the Banshees,
Over the Strong!..

Be One of fortune,
Be One of grasp:
Clowns to torture,
Powder on Masks.

Where – prepare! -
Rumble of Steps:
Growling Fanfare
Crown must rest!..
