What Brought You Here

A lifetime of proposing,

An insight, or two.

A conundrum of confounding confrontations—

Saliva, sativa and sanctuary,

To name a few.

I put a few specimens into my files,

Exposed my abilities,

To explain a lack of explanation.

I found that I shouldn’t breach my contract,

With me, myself, and…

You.

What brought you here?

And, what keeps me here?

Why have I moved my King,

Into unknown spots?

“And made her remember that she was a queen.”

I put myself here,

Accumulated aspirations,

And released accusations.

I got here,

I’m happy to stay here,

Just don’t put my king

In the corner.
