There's a maroon awning leading
to where a princess! lived once,
but nows dead! Celebratory,
salvific, all water resistant canvas
had at once seemed and though
still over front steps moved
away.
Why can I find no evidence
of your existence? A princess!
in a white dress matriculates
and smiles and looking back
as would matriculate and is
exhausted. All of us are indicted
are accepted unconditionally
to this rostrum.
