Elevated

Elevated to lofty status

Pours never rains

Pieces arranged just so, assuring my reign

Demesne manyspan rein of high nations

Typified by hasty decisions, threshing wasting entire generations

The blameless dying choking on mud blood darn painted knees.


I’m before the Forest of Deans’ mightiest oak, toward saintly Dīn

Djinn-commanding ring, Alexander amongst men

Miner of Ophir, Sheba’s Queen

Reposed in clothless fealty, wreathed in censer’s redolent steam

Roof peeled back like the manky flank of the Nazarene

Dreamsky colour of notyet steel peers through

Pocketing Tophet ashes to top up my prophet joints

In appearance I am rippled, retripling crippled honour

Feeling lightning bright after a hit of the codeine fix

High price for the high kingship.
