One female evening ships defining dark upon the pen And Christ become a jailer Couldn't separate the me from the iconography When will the master become the servant? The curtain arrow word time hand shot to mislinger & a freefall served them askance The upside-down seasons untoward uneven innocent In the antipodean moonlight Whatever happened to knowing is naught (no he is not) and a slamming of doors? I would come to the sun setting, doing no harm & its place were a band of misfits Tired of his laugh & pay & pray for all to what its worth He came upon a Celtic crown & caught ye up an arrow field Not less than mean for all its purpose All the intents were out of date, the grateful leaving innocence When progress came down to the table Gleeful owners trade & salivate The meek shall inherit the Earth They're the only ones who know what it's worth As they work their hands into it

The bucket gutwave stone wave spasms, the bucket gutwave splits The bucket gutwave turn unaided, the bucket gutwave parchment split Grief will let us up in the green grass The illumination of parchment notes The grey will & being unaided graded The persecutorial famine Inasmuch as he hadn't lessened the whole in on himself Inasmuch as we hadn't intended a stone wall will The illumination of favours had to be unto all & then had to be one too many forms of a fineward functioning mind time brain
