about

A Villanelle

lyrics

I sit upon this crooked throne
I’m perched and dark: a dying crow
Is this the end of all I’ve known?

As brittle ice cracks frozen stone
I hold to dreams that lie and go
I sit upon this crooked throne

With breaking rock and fading tone
The pain is final as it grows
Is this the end of all I’ve known?

The dying light lets out a groan
It falls and dies like shining snow
I sit upon this crooked throne

I’m crippled black: a rotting crone
My corpse is falling down: for lo!
Is this the end of all I’ve known?

The wicked wind rips into bone
To die releases all I know
I sit upon this crooked throne
Is this the end of all I’ve known?
