And over the bare spaces of our skies

The book of moonlight is not written yet

And the soul, O ganders, being lonely, flies

Meantime, centurions guffaw and beat

And their memorials are the phrases

Out of such mildew plucking nearer mould

Do they believe they range the gusty cold,

And makes a constant sacrament of praise.

And forthfrom the bard-species of azure

The brook of moonlight is not flowing yet

And the lonely soul, O wanderers, demurs

Oldtime centuries, entranc't, are met

And their monuments are the human graces.

Out of sorts Milady, puckish, almost gold

Believe she rages 'gainst the common fold,

And makes a constant sacrifice of praises.

When editee edits, beewharrr, beewharrr!

The letter uprisen takes hold of the pen

and having once risen, 'sne'er transfix't again.

Dolorous meanderings in a tentshow chaos

Please the frothiest of maidens in curlicued

quotemarks for spitcurls for sidelocks for

reliquaries for prophylacteries in the grave-

headed mastiff at the gate of the Semitic Cemetery.

End-marks a faithful scarification of phrasings

When eddies swirl in Eden, stand back!

The stream itself creates a dam of water,

and having risen, rhizomes itself through the earth.

Demeter miasmas in a circuitous haze

Plait the twirly dried weeds into garlands

Parenthetically adorning and embracing the

maidens, an agate necklace for the semiotic dove.

The gate has opened to the awakened ones
