Battlement

Such a death toll displacing as
in water after leaving. His voice's

carrying a clever cleaving of
every binary opposition; but

choosing one way after all.


Victorian guides of modesty
still hold sway over your choices

Whose plot meanderings went
over like lead baloons. Who felt

angry, but didn't know why, and
who dwelt as marooned on the

path home bloodily.


The countryside is green, and
undulates under the wind; it

abates.
