    Throne, or: An Arrival in a Room

    Interim in Terra, track 10

    Download on Bandcamp

    here's you
    the only person qualified to lead
    and simultaneously
    the last one i expected

    i thought for sure that doctor morrin
    or an underling of his
    would take the throne
    make it their own

    here's me
    tossed maliciously
    a spanner coming home at last
    triumphantly returning from the wild

    but my attempt
    is met with hate and contempt
    i left a child
    and i came back reviled

    ----

    i saw it happen
    i watched you falling from the sky
    i watched you die
    but here you are
    your eye as ever
    penetrating me
    what does it see?

    ----

    does it see through me to all of my allegiances
    does it know that i made friends outside the wall
    or does it see past all that
    that i intended all along
    to do them wrong

    but you're telling me you see them in the basement
    and you're showing me they're fighting even now
    and i realise what is down there
    i realise what i've done
    and i am frozen
    they have won

    ----

    …i left a child
    and i came back a child
    toats a colons joint
