There’s a word for this
Used to be coincidence
Not much of a Romeo
If you want to go
That okay, why don’t you just go
I was king of all I could see
Some young thing un-sceptered me
Now I’m a lonely subject
Furrowing my field
With this old broken shield
I woke up to a necromantic
Dancer floating over me
Two serpents entwined
Beneath wings of pure ecstasy
I rose as if lifted by the thread
That stitched together all the numberless dimensions
At last to alight on a silver lily pond
Slash River Ocean
In other words
There's a word for this
Maybe it's just a pause for emphasis
I don't think I'll be coming back too soon
That is, since I tried what's on offer
On the other side
