THE STRING THAT REMEMBERED EVERYTHING
— a closing canticle for the Rose Arc

After #goliardery thinned into habit and #jocularity softened the #horripilal we fortified ourselves with #bastionary truths
hung on fragile #catenaries of praise
until devotion grew #obsequious

TABERNA
—where laughter impeaches the throne

We practised #goliardery by candle and cask,
tuning our dissent to tavern acoustics.
Crowns were demoted to metaphors,
virtue loosened its collar,
and scripture learned to blush.
