sleepbitten · the bound offering
  an hour later's ears
fill with the fury · of leaf-ferrier
  in a glare too seldom intercepted
would be fall · if the weary round
  one more time obliged
our sky-crossing cars · failed to occur
  though bees of evil did
i watch for, wise · in the ways of the game

"Before it referred to the hand tool, 'wrench' meant a trick or a strategy. So in Old English, war strategy would be *𝘩𝘦𝘳𝘦𝘸𝘳𝘦𝘯𝘀, and elf trickery would be *𝘦𝘭𝘧𝘸𝘳𝘦𝘯𝘀. (IPA: [ˈherΙ›ΛŒwrΙ›ntΚƒ], [ˈelfˌwrΙ›ntΚƒ])" --@wylfcen
