Kneeling

by Wolfgang Glinka

On his knees.
Humbled.
Forgiven?
Maybe.

On his knees.
Honoured.
Knighted?
Maybe.

On his knees.
Punished.
Guillotined?
Maybe.

Kneeling there,
Bored but impressed.
Knees cushioned
Hands cupped on his eyes.

A penitent, clasping a cross,
Sir Lancelot, shining with ardour,
King Louis dragged to his end.

Head bowed.
Eyes closed.
Invisible?
Maybe.
