Four Questions

On a marble wall
a mason engraved writings
bearing questions
baring concealment:
who killed Loitabela our son?
what stole the gold vault?
where were you in 1800?
do you remember the ’67 quake?

Loitabela mysteriously disappeared
the gold vault was stolen
quake struck in 1967
king was dethroned in 1800

the wall pleads
for answers
