The Court Jester
Snow White Blood

the truth that no one dared to say
A jolly man he was, indeed

that swallowed up the sun
“This can’t be but a sign of God
to punish us for what we’ve done …”
The king and queen showed them a nod
The sun in darkness shone
Examining his environment …
Nothing is what it seems …
The court jester,
he joined the crowd
to solve the mystery
His jolly bells,
