King in a car park
King in a cardboard box
King in a car on his way to be tested
King in a scanner under the scientific scrutiny
of the twenty-first century — M.I.
R.
The indignity
stripped naked on the battle field
now all revealed yet so little known
beneath the propaganda
we are
bone.

The most striking line for me was ‘King in a cardboard box’
Poignant.
