your throat overflows

Your throat overflows
With a liquid scream
But your throat is glutted
You swallow your scream

Your teeth are clenched

The Highness applauds.
He sits back- joins his hands
In an astounding clap
He looks at the stage, with
A cerulean gaze

You bow like a dancer
Your mind is wasted
Your throat is still glutted

His highness’s teeth
Are clenched around your neck
