March, 1815
January 14, 2016
The wind passed his house
Outside were drums of celebration
Downstairs a man sat with a paper crown
And more men felt suddenly weighted down
As though the sorrows of a thousand foreign lands
Were bowing their heads to the ground.
The wind looked upstairs and found the man
The man who made it happen.
The man looked at the paper
And then at his hands
Was that faint redness blood?
Knighthood would follow
But for now the man’s inscrutable face
Crumpled, and he wept.
