"Tentchoff is dróttkvætt meter’s master, and she marshals all the considerable power of that form to articulate the existential despair of her Vikings, their frustrated lust for great and dangerous deeds of glory."

"Sometimes
I leave footprints the shape of blood; sometimes glass
flows through broken veins, and I glitter."

--Reginald Shepherd

Another overcast day here in magical Glastonbury.

(rondeau quatrain in rhime)

The dying singer of a dying day
Grows wistful in the reaptime
Grows wistful in the reaptime
The dying singer of a dying day

The trammels of unruly peace
Run circles on the catafalque
The dying singer of a dying day
Grows wistful in the reaptime

Our tutelary ark
Is crawling with the will to punish
Twilight of the truth
The army runs on fumes of smoking bible

The dying singer of a dying day
Grows wistful in the reaptime
Grows wistful in the reaptime
The dying singer of a dying day

Rondeau.
