The Affairs of Princes

"Can you write a lament for the killer?" 
-Prince Otto, "Troubling a Star," by Madeleine L'Engle.


Life is an act of falling
With and without grace,
Of desperation calling,
And consequence to face.

Life is a path of learning,
Strewn with dreams now lost;
Yet Earth continues turning-
With innocence the cost.
