"i am certain of finding"
otherworldly organist · ordalic dither
as the clock creeps · to some cracked tryst
sunny in bricktown · sort of dull
hard to rehearse · the heist of civilians
one-storey lives · lost to the annals
anonymous song · numinous sadly
all-souls' · edgelord rally
to think of those · by thwart chosen
talaria-shod · & shelter-hardy
gathered leaves · along calm lanes
wrote recipes · i failed to follow
saw this coming · called it pitiful
remains much · murksome finale
mechas bustle · in the bright cold air
musicians practice · for that prism'd hour
their note hangs · like a harbinger of peace
many poisons · went into perfecting
this wrenched respite · in a rude season
the bard battles · sore disbelief
himself as skeptic · in the scuttlebutt ranks
a day off from deigning · to rearrange realms
pure penitence · or pastime compromised
by wanting whispers · from the dead to flatter me
with hour urged · in the foxhole ardent
“Along the pavement roll’d the muttering head.” –Pope’s Odyssey, XXII
