Frederick Kesner - Crown

step forward
chin up, back straight
onto the stone of destiny
plant feet firm
and remember

step backward
head tilted, brow knit
only in the mind
return to what
brought you here

step aside
shoulders squared, hips lithe
be removed but
be re-placed
the river flows downstream
