What describes power:
Magic? Kingship? Opening
to what’s next with grace.

Young king finds his death,
despair, emptiness, no hope,
And learns how to live.

Then gets lost in the desert,
navel-gazing bore.

one organ functioning:

wandered midnight labyrinths
convinced I was right?

Drowned nuns! Shipwreck! Yet
Reads like wikipedia.
without cool links. Damn.

Who changed: him or me?
I used to love his writing!
Sadly, no more. Next!
