To Melancholy

Dog footed deep rooted fist and fouled Cankerous flea infested unglorified scowled Floating above the four walled space Drowning not thyself but every chequered face. Wing wilted uninhibited web footed guest Seeking not short lived stay but being adept Burying your nailed claws in every nook And the floor space Even deeper steadier stiffer For your imperished stage. I can see your monstrous form when I wake It hovers over me in sleep and shakes Every deep rooted breath with lizard and snake. I wishing the fisted strength to drive you & trod Over the dunes unsung unrapturous over beaten sod. Dog footed deep rooted melancholy be not amazed If I throw myself and you out in the maze.
