Baronhawk's Nest

I tip toe atop
stringing along

all flip flops
across the line

the wire thin
colour sublime

daylight sleeps
and night define

of clearest blue
and red untinged

pigmented beats
and hearts aflame

a dictator's fate
empire's make

the cloak of kings
and prince's capes

the bruised thumb
of egos struck

the mark within
that stark refrain

of tinsel tinted
course de main
