NaPoWriMo, Day Twenty-Five, Poem Twenty-Five

Poem

The noseless king has fallen.
Never will he thrust
his self-gouged, unclosed wound
to others, selling it to himself
as their reflection,
roaring in such a manner
that some believe it.

Our emperor, his new wardrobe
from a while back
was his own blood.
His historians revised that fact
into him having nothing on,
a youthful indescretion
without the youth.

His potential mourners
have long since revised him
into nothing there.
