As the rooster clucked

Princes hauled
into golden crown
Lions mauled
at sundown
Statehood a renewed duress
the night shares witness
Kingdoms bear
the weakened bloodstream
thinning hair
revealing
honey struck head repealing
a feverish dream
Rooster hen
glowers in the den
Lions sway
in dismay
Camelia early plucked
as the rooster clucked
Reading of the poem:
Where Spirits Sleep - Eric Heitmann and Amy Wallace
