Well and Truly Try

Zero zero linger longer - present
we democrafy, one three nine
   
                         some foot tap
                         some waddle

                                   raft of doze wools my eyes
                         7 zero six
                                   this dull mind now slide down
                                   numerals melt
                                   so help you God,
                                   what is your summons number?
                         digits fragment, plunk, descending octaves
                                   ladder of metal-wrapt strings
                                   vibrating.

"Challenge, my Lord."
Crown discontent.

As accused stands red, haggard, ragged
      in the box
      grey hair strands droop
      chin reticulated
      eyes swimming
      gut hulking
   

Did he kill her?
